Stagecoach to take over X84/X85 from GNE and introduce new X83 service between Heddon-on-the-Wall and Metrocentre, at an hourly frequency, giving H-o-t-W, Throckley, Newburn a link to the Metrocentre without having to change buses.
Map - in regards to Newburn Bridge Road turn from Newburn Rd if it is too tight of a turn or cars blocking turn then buses can just use the roundabout 30 seconds up the road (both directions if needed), as I'm not sure if a normal sized single decker could make either of those turns.
Journeys from Metrocentre enter Heddon-on-the-Wall NIS (letting passengers off at subsequent stops. Terminates at Village Entrance)
Journeys towards Metrocentre (then repeat the loop of H-o-t-W and continue towards the Metrocentre, this time in service.)
Limited Stop
Heddon-on-the-Wall - Methodist Church, Towne Gate & Village Entrance (Always that order to allow bus to terminate in adequate place)
Hexham Road (All stops between H-o-t-W and Throckley Roundabout)
Newburn Road (only stopping at Sainsbury’s, Park Rd & Church Bank)
Stella Street
Clasper Way (Outside Holiday Inn)
Scotswood View (All Stops)
Metrocentre (Stand C)
