The 687 was downgraded from an hourly service throughout the day to two from Hexham to Corbridge and three from Corbridge to Hexham, most of which do not 'join up' (only the 10:55 weekday service returns).
Agreed that usage was sparse and, therefore, not commercially viable.
The Saturday (only) 15:10 does have a return with the 16:35 from Hexham, which, strangely, then runs back to Hexham NIS, having arrived in Corbridge @ 16:52 instead of waiting and collecting those shop-workers who finish at 5pm, however these people do have a TEN @17:08 or 17:15 (weekdays).
