Im guessing that this is to save them changing the timetable every time service changes occur however I think that this will provide a significant disadvantage to many people. Im not sure if this is just Northumberland Council or a Nexus decision. 

I could not get a photo myself as my bus was coming however I found this one posted to the Arriva North East facebook page.

OAP's, those who aren't tech savvy and many others totally disregarded by this example.

Travelling by public transport needs to be made accessible to all and go way above and beyond easy access vehicles.
Organisations need to think about the process from well before people get to the bus stop, the time at the stop, on board and when the passenger gets off.
This is a perfect example of that failing. Just as the removal of paper timetables, the removal of via points etc etc.
