I haven’t got a copy of the timetable for it, but I believe it was allowed 45 minutes for the 35 mile journey. I have no idea when it was withdrawn so do not know if it lasted into Arriva Northumbria days. Services that Arriva Northumbria did operate into Scotland were the 23 (Berwick-Kelso), 36 (Berwick-Eyemouth), 104 (Berwick-Dunbar) and B33 (Berwick-Duns). 23 was operating in the Northumbria Motor Services days and lasted into Arriva ownership. It operated on Saturdays with some school journeys thrown in before being withdrawn on 3rd September 2001. 104 and B33 were schoolday only services that were withdrawn on 5th July 2000. I do not have anything further on 36 but I cannot imagine Arriva continued operating it after Berwick depot closed on Saturday 12 October 2002, assuming they were still operating it at that time.
Interestingly, 32 and 36 were shown on the Traffic Commissioner’s website in 2002 when they started putting registrations on computers. These are two of the legacy registrations that have been cancelled this year.
I couldn't find any reference to this service in the October 1993 timetable, but did find one in the
Summer 1998 timetable, by which time Arriva had taken over from Northumbria. [attachment=10774]
