Stagecoach introduced a 2-hourly Hexham - Carlisle service from mid November and this is included in the timetable but I'd imagine, starting today there'd be other changes to the Arriva service than a fancy new map? Of note, the timetable now includes the Haltwhistle - Carlisle 185.
EDIT: I think it is the withdrawal of the Stagecoach in Cumbria 1754 Carlisle - Hexham through Gilsland; now replaced by an 1807 in line with the other services. Due to Cumbria County Council funding cutbacks.
All the Sunday Newcastle-Hexham buses have been re-timed too, with the withdrawal of the 0834 Newcastle-Hexham also. It would appear the Saturday 1407 from Carlisle to Newcastle has gone too but that might be a mistake
