Some more info I found somewhere on Facebook:
Four tenders were received for the 808 service.
The successful operator will be Phoenix Taxis who are based in Blyth
They will use 22 seater coaches that have 2014/15 plates
The service will leave Otterburn at 07:00 (five minutes earlier than the present service)
The ticket cost will increase for a single ticket from present figure of £3.80 to £4.50 and for a return from £6.50 to £7.60. However I am advised it is likely there will be a weekly ticket available that should reduce costs.
Phoenix Taxis will start the service from 19 March hence no gap in the service.
