Here's my take on Arriva in Northumberland since 1990:

Berwick - Depot and bus station closed. Local services in the town given up.
Wooler - Depot closed entire operation given up.
Alnwick - Depot closed. Town services significantly reduced.
Morpeth - Depot closed. Town services significantly reduced.
Rothbury - Depot and bus station closed. Services reduced.
Whitley Bay -Depot and bus station closed. Town services significantly reduced.
Newcastle Gallogate - Depot, offices and works all closed.
Hexham - Operation passed to GNE. Haltwhistle and Allendale outstations closed.

Investment in a new depot at Ashington. But customer facilities at the replacement bus station are rather lacking.

Blyth still has the same depot and bus station.

Feel free to draw your conclusions.
