(10 Jun 2021, 10:55 am)Michael Ah right, that's good, I wonder if this will allow the PVR to drop to 4 on the X84/X85.Believe so, wonder if likely to see new solos as part of contract offer
Looks like GNE won the Hexham contracts again, sure they were up for renewal this year?

(10 Jun 2021, 11:42 am)Michael Me too, not sure on the actual PVR for all the Hexham local services but would be good to see them upgraded, least the Solo's could be moved on to "Little Coasters" to replace some of the older Solo's.It's interesting to see Hexham area get some attention. That's an area I feel is Barley touched. Like when was the last time Hexham received timetable changes. That major impact the area

Possibly reason why 723 was repainted out of Tynedale Links livery

Not sure about the change of pick up point in Toon, especially when the 685 still serves Eldon Square, potential to lose overspill from the 685 and X82.

(10 Jun 2021, 10:50 am)Thomas12 Looks like the Hexham-Newbrough section on the X85 is being replaced by the new 687, allowing the X84/X85 to be fully operated by the newer MMCs?Feel sorry for the passengers on that section who are now going to have ti get 2 buses if they want to go to Newcastle, surely GNE should have considered that over the allocation.

(10 Jun 2021, 3:27 pm)Micheal Aaron Happening in other placesI suppose its fine if passenger numbers are low so its ok if passenger numbers between locations after Hexham on the X85 & stops between Hexham and Newcastle so hopefully GNE have done their research first.

Likely be some frequency cuts to go with the curtailment but will just have to see...

I am confused by the apparent terminus of the X84/X85 being St Andrew's Cemetery (Hexham I presume?) as there's nowhere to turn around unless it does some weird loop along the A69 although my suspicions are it will just be a peak time extension and will terminate at the Bus Station for most of the day.

Ah I got confussed. I thought it meant St Andrews Chuch on Newgate Street in Toon. I blame this heat.

Looks like both services are returning - but I can't even remember what they were before the pandemic.
