I expect March 2026 at the very earliest for any wholesale changes.
That's not what I meant. The new bus stop at Newsham railway station will be where the X8 stops as it's detailed that bus stops will be server by buses. Whu would they not reroute the services to stop at dedicated bus stops when the line opens. Newsham & Ashington both have bus stops outside the station and will send them in when it opens. It will be a slight route alternative to stop at these stops. There is no way they would wait until the full line opens cause what if it keeps getting delayed
