Not much rumpus from the regulars yet on the withdrawal of the early and late 685 journeys to/from Carlisle and the withdrawal completely from Gilsland. No doubt it'll all come out in the wash in the next couple of weeks along with will a bus really run empty all the way from Newcastle to Carlisle 6 days a week as the timetable seems to suggest.
Do Arriva outstation any vehicles for 85/X85/685 in Hexham? In new TT three start from there a.m. (0642 & 0732 X85 and 0757 85 - the 0627 85 is presumably worked by incoming 0535 ex Newcastle) plus there's the unbalanced 0907 from Carlisle (assuming all Arriva's match Stagecoach with a 71 min. layover in Carlisle) Then p.m. from Newcastle the 1710 & 1945 85's and 1720 X85 all have no return workings, so do they keep them in Hexham or run them all LT from Newcastle?
