Post on the Otterburn Parish Council Facebook page certainly suggests this to be the case when detailing the new X74:

"The bus service from Redesdale to Newcastle is changing from 29 January, 2024.
From that date the 808 and 131 services will no longer be operational but a new service (X74) will come into effect.
Peter Hogg will provide the X74 service that will run three times a day Monday to Saturday.
Please see link attached for the timetable. This information has only become available today and there will be a further update should the Parish Council receive more details."

Certainly seems likely given that the first and last journeys of the day run at around the same times as the 808 currently does to a similar route between Otterburn and Newcastle, although has not been registered as cancelled yet.
