Last year the price for a standard adult single or return (no price difference) was £35.00

Cheaper to book a day excursion 

Concessionary passes are valid but obviously departs before 0920 from Newcastle so cannot be used until later in route

Woody's Taxis  B2 Berwick Loaning Retail Park Circular , can't find it on google maps and when I search up the timetable on the Nexus website it says "page not found" can anybody figure out when this route runs cause I need to catch it tommorow.

Just looked at a Optare Solo 10901 B1 service but something looked a bit wrong about it . Has anybody looked at it ?

Apparently the 685 is now Stagecoach Cumbria .
