(27 May 2015, 9:55 am)Jimmi wrote I'm maybe looking at making a trip up to Berwick next week (possibly Wednesday or Thursday).
Does anybody know what the bus scene is like up there (what operators run and stuff like that) also does anyone any good spots to get any photos?
Also plan to spend an hour in Alnwick so again if anyone knows what runs there and spots for photos etc.
Berwick is fantastic for independent operators, they have:
Perrymans operate:
B2/B3/B6/B7 - Berwick Town Services
235 - Berwick-Eyemouth-St Abbs
253 - Berwick-Coldingham-Edinburgh
267/464 - Berwick-Wooler
477 - Berwick-Holy Island (different times depending on the tide)
Travelsure operate:
32 - Swinton-Berwick-Tweedmouth
34 - Berwick-Duns
236 - Berwick-Eyemouth
260- Berwick-Chirnside-Duns
Glen Valley Tours operate:
267/464 - Berwick-Wooler
The majority of these services are operated by Solos, however Travelsure have (or did have) a Centro and a Dart. The 477 Solo is branded.
In Alnwick you have services to the Coast (Amble/Belford) operated by Travelsure, and also services to Wooler operated by Travelsure and Glen Valley Tours. And also you have the Spirit Buses 15 from Alnmouth Station to Rothbury.
I'd recconmend catching the X18 to Alnwick from Berwick, then the 15 to Rothbury, then 14 to Newcastle if timings work.
