(07 Apr 2014, 1:15 pm)G-CPTN wrote I see that the (2014) AD122 timetable now starts and finishes at Hexham bus station rather than Newcastle at the ends of the day, so, presumably, it no longer serves the military road east of Chollerford as it runs through Acomb.
I wonder if it will visit Hexham Tourist Information office in Wentworth carpark to pick up passengers(which is where it used to start and finish during the day)?
No mention of ongoing connections to Boness on Solway or Carlisle (other than via Haltwhistle railway station).
Will it still carry cycles?
I suspect that this is out of date:- http://www.hadrianswallshop.co.uk/produc...r-ticket-/
and is based on last season's price of £9 for a day rover (which included Tynedale Links), and that this no longer applies:-
The Hadrian's Wall Bus has been a bit of a last minute dan thing and its ended up with just one bus on it for the time being, hence the reduced timetable to run between Hexham and Haltwhistle only. It will run via Acomb and will terminate in Hexham Bus Station and not serve the TIC (free car parkers can walk to Hexham Rail Station to board).
There aren't any connections at Haltwhistle for Westbound journeys and it won't carry bikes.
That Hadrian's Wall Shop link needs taking off (its in progress) and whilst Andreos 1 doesn't like the fares, the vast majority of past users are visitors staying in Newcastle (from survey data) and the fares are geared around them - the £15 Rover + ticket still works out well price wise if they had to get the train to Hexham then the AD122. As a lot of the services funding has disappeared (from both sides of the hill) the fares have had to have a bit of a review to keep the thing going.
Hopefully, it'll get a boost for the Summer Season as there's a few plans, but its been very last minute so far and fingers crossed that it'll do ok.
