Passengers from Horsley can use Cross Pennine service 685, and passengers from Heddon-on-the-Wall can instead use service 685 or X-lines X84."Looking at the timetable it looks like they're omitting Horsley and Heddon on the Wall in order to be able to still interwork the x84 and x85.
Looking at the new timetable, they're saving 6 minutes by staying on the A69, but an interesting statement to just hand your customers over to the competition.
The 689 just states there's a revised timetable, but looking at the changes and a journey each way on Saturday has been axed. So down to 2 now instead of the 3.
