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.
True, but Heddon and Horsley aren't exactly buzzing metropolises, can't be many passengers they're handing over to Stagecoach NW and Arriva.
