Agreed with the coaches aswell, I always think there should be a proper North Northumberland express personally and have it hourly with the X15/X18 Northern bits on it so those travelling further get more luxury.

You'd probably have to make it completely non stop between Morpeth and Newcastle though and ideally Morpeth and Alnwick (but that would need extra services). 

A coach from Seahouses to Newcastle etc would be popular imo and the X18 double back is stupid regardless.

I agree that a review of the long distance Northumberland services should be looked at, perhaps with the County Council and the NECA. Ideally it should be a mix of catering to tourist and commuter traffic to and from Newcastle from Morpeth, Alnwick and Berwick with faster services and providing good local links for communities in between.
