79 - Ponteland-Morpeth (Wed)
613 - Whittonstall-Hexham (Tues) - Could be merged with 689?
808 - Otterburn-Newcastle (Mon-Sat)
880 - Hexham-Bellingham (Mon-Sat) or Kielder (Tues/Fri/Sat)
882 - Hexham-Colwell (Mon-Sat)
915 - Bellingham-Otteburn (Thurs/Fri) - Could interwork with 880?
Would be nice for GNE to expand their Tynedale Links network.
There would be little demand for the outward journeys early morning and inwards journeys late afternoon/evening.
I don't suppose that they are huge earners anyway and probably need subsidy to survive.
