(08 Feb 2025, 10:04 am)Superman wrote Revised route north of Alnwick to improve reliability. It will mean two workings on the X18 become single deck, due to the low bridge at Denwick (the new route avoiding the double run back to Lesbury as it does now).
Hardly end of the world.
Looking at the current timetable, would mean the 10:08, 14:08 and 18:18 out of Newcastle will be SD operated. The rest DD as usual.
I haven't seen the buses in recent years, must admit, but won't this be a serious capacity issue in the Summer months? They used to be packed to the rafters with people heading up to Seahouses etc, in the paat.
Obviously not much of an issue in February but it's not a million miles away.
