When Howard Snaith's routes to Colwell were taken over by GNE the Beaumont Park route was rejigged as the 682 to serve Acomb instead of Corbridge (on an hourly basis) as well as occasional journeys to Barrasford, Gunnerton and Colwell.
I don't think the Barrasford/Colwell service lasted long.
The 687 operates off some 686 and 689 journeys.
The weekday 11:35 from Hexham (11:53 from Corbridge) is a Venture Solo (which used to then go from Hexham to Barrasford/Colwell), whilst the Saturday 15:10 from Corbridge arrives from Prudhoe/Ovingham/Albemarle (686).
I think the 10:55 and the 12:55 from Corbridge come from Ovington (686 from Prudhoe 10:03 and 12:03).
Yeah, the 682 beyond Acomb towards Colwell only lasted a few months at most. The Northumberland area seems a little bit of a mess at the moment, with the current transport situation. Possibly extending the 683 or 688 buses could work instead, or a new service operating beyond Corbridge to somewhere like Matfen or Stamfordham could be an option?
