The proposals apparently include:
- On Mondays to Saturdays the X18 will no longer serve High Newton by-the-sea
-The 07:52, 12:02 and 16:02 X18s north from Alnwick will still run all the way to Berwick and back with the time saved by not serving High Newton absorbed along the coast so the buses still serve Belford at the same time each hour as the X15. The 07:03 south from Belford will still run too.
-All the other X18 journeys will be replaced by Travelsure operated 418's. These journeys would serve High Newton and Denwick, but only run as far as Belford.
-From memory the Sunday timetable is the same as it is now, but the Arriva jouneys that serve High Newton will be numbered 418 north of Alnwick, those that don't will be the X18 all the way to Berwick and back.

There are also a couple of proposed changed on the X15 to early morning and late evening services, the biggest being the last bus of the day north which currently stops at Belford will be stopping at Alnwick.

Of course things may have changed since the start of September...
