I can't see all three lasting.
Which of the three will remain, not sure - Arriva obviously have the added bonus of serving the villages beyond Hexham, it departs Eldon Square a few minutes before the x84/85 and it is an established service.
That has to stand it in good stead.
However, like other operators in other areas, Arriva have seemingly taken the market for granted.
