There are relatively few main services that travel west of Hexham (Arriva/Stagecoach 685/85 is the only through service from east of Hexham).
The remainder are the 'minor' services (682, 683, 688) that serve Allendale/Allenheads, Newbrough and Hexham Priestlands/Beaumont Park/Highford.
The TEN and X84/X85 terminate at Hexham bus station (and it would be inconvenient to say the least to have these serve the old bus station area).
One of the proposals was to replace the existing bus station with stops on Priestpopple, but the problem was where to turn around the buses that needed to travel to Newcastle. It was soon realised that this was a non-starter.
It is regrettable that the opportunity to acquire the (what was George and Jobling garage) site (the current roofless shell that burned-down some 40-50 years ago) was not taken.
Expanding the current bus station eastwards would have solved all the problems of the current site.
