Newcastle to Ashington (2 trains per hour)
Newcastle to Morpeth (1 tph)
Newcastle to Hexham (1 tph)
Newcastle to Carlisle (2 tph)
Newcastle to Middlesbrough (3 tp2h)

The same ‘hub system’ for Northern will also be created at Middlesbrough and Darlington with through trains being removed. It’s all about making delays self-contained. This won’t affect Transpennine services to Saltburn.

Seems shot sighted to me, especially not putting services through to the Metrocentre at least.
