GNE holding the contract makes some sense in that they hold the majority of the other tendered services in the Hexham area although at the same time, large parts of the route is replicated by Stagecoach routes including the 685 so for ease of ticketing it would likely be better for those living along the 684 routes but on the other hand parts are also replicated by GNE.

When the X10 used to serve Stand A in Elon Square before being moved to Stand D (stupid move btw), a lot of the people who got on 684 either had GNE Tickets or Concession Passes, one thing I noticed when I was last in Hexham was that when the 685 pulled in the majority of people who were waiting for the X85 at the time jumped on it had Concession Passes.
