Info from Cllr Alex Wallace - Sleekburn Ward's Facebook page:
A new timetable will come in from September 4th for the 434 service which will be run by Phoenix. There are no additional buses but following the withdrawal of Go North East I am pleased we have been able to attract another provider. There are some changes in times to fall in with the changes made by Bedlington Academy. There will be a small change to young persons fares ranging from 60p to £1.30 and OAP/Disabled concession will be valid even on those starting before 09.00 Monday-Friday. The buses will use Ashington bus station both ways. Hope that helps those who use the service.
A funding bid has been made to the North of Tyne Authority for a 1 hour service on this route to service the re-opening of the rail link. We are very hopeful of this being successful and I will keep everyone informed if we do get the funding.
Timetable (Saturday times are the same as M-F):
No idea how accurate this quote is. But interesting nonetheless.
Sounds like they've sacked this one off.
