A large number of journeys on service 680 will by operated standalone - not interworking with any other services. These journeys are outlined below, and I believe they should be allocated Scania L94UB/Wright Solar 5210:
From Hexham - 06:55, 09:10, 11:10, 13:10, 15:35, 17:20
From Bellingham - 07:45, 10:05, 12:05, 14:05, 16:30, 18:15.
Similarly, a large number of journeys on service 682 will be operated standalone. These journeys are outlined below, and should be allocated an MPD:
From Colwell - 07:36
From Hexham - 08:35 then hourly until 16:35
From Acomb - 09:08 then hourly until 16:08
Service 683 will remain standalone, as present.
Services 74 and 686 will continue to interwork, as present (using an MPD), although additionally includes the journey of service 687 commencing from Corbridge at 12:55 (running off the 12:03 686 from Prudhoe).
The second board on services 74 and 686 which interwork includes the following journeys of service 688 (again using an MPD):
From Hexham - 05:58, 07:35, 15:40, 17:20, 18:10
From Allenheads/Allendale: 06:44, 08:04, 16:29, 17:49, 19:09
The remaining journeys of service 688 are covered by another MPD (previously Scania L94). This vehicle also works the 16:35 687 from Hexham.
There is another board which covers journeys on services 686, 687, 74 and 682 throughout the day. Again, this should be allocated an MPD. The morning/evening 680 journeys offering connections to/from Newcastle should be operated by a Tynedalexpress Scania L94.
As predicted, there will be some journeys operated by Stanley Depot on weekdays in between normal duties on service 689. This includes the 1135 687 service from Hexham (and return), as well as the 1210 682 service from Hexham (and return).
