(06 Nov 2015, 8:15 pm)thetravelman Does anyone know how the recent changes up at Hexham are doing?
Are the new X81, 681 and 185 doing well? I wasn't sure how the 1 retrun trip per day on the X81 Hexham to Alston would do, but I suppose its better to have a service operate with a few passengers rather the bus just travel to/from Alston each day light, where it sets off on the 681 from Alston to Haltwhistle.
Has anyone managed to get any photos?

I am hereby nominating 3965 as the fustiest bus ever.
Smells like a dirty old floor cloth on here. Only caught it because I thought I'd missed the pronto.
