I use the current 687 service to travel to Hexham from Corbridge when I go shopping in ALDI.
There is just enough time for me to walk from the railway station to ALDI and then back to the station to catch the next bus back to Corbridge.
There is now just one possibility - the first journey of the day, but even that has been 'shortened' by five minutes thus making it unlikely that I could catch the 11:37 from the station as I only just manage it.
The remaining journeys do not offer any sort of connectivity for my purpose.
What will be missed most is the facility for the elderly residents of Corbridge to travel from the St Helen's Lane area into central Corbridge and back 'on the hour' without having to work out whether there will be a bus an hour later - but, no doubt analysis of passenger journeys will have been taken into consideration.
