Not entirely sure how it would work trying to integrate both forms of transport?

Could they do something like this:

Use buses for local trips, and for Bedlington/Cramlington to Newcastle passengers. 

Use trains for Ashington to Newcastle /Blyth to Newcastle. 

Buses would also provide extra peak time services 


If I'm honest though, I don't see how the train will be that much quicker?
