Since northern have got their act together, getting rid of the pacers and replacing them with refurbished 156's and 158's, the benefit of taking the bus over the train has been minimised. In particular looking at Hexham you've now got two fast trains an hour to Newcastle plus the stopping service - there's pretty fierce competition thereIf I were going to Hexham for the day, I'd pick bus over train without question, unless I just fancied a walk around Homebase, Waitrose or Tesco, as it's a right trek up the hill, the bus takes me where I'd actually want to go.
