Fairly logical point to make though for that to heppen. They would either go NIS (PM journey) or go onto an X84/5 (AM)

Other routes are significantly reduced (in frequency).

(04 Aug 2015, 7:24 am)G-CPTN wrote Will Howard Snaith survive as a local bus operator, as a tour bus operator or as a private hire operator, as a taxi service or will they cease commercial operation? Have they lost their licences?
The loss of what seemed to be the bulk of their local services probably means a significant reduction in drivers (and vehicles).
The impact on employment in the North Tyne area must be detrimental.

If I've read it correctly (and if the report is accurate!) I'd say only the Colwell service is to be evaluated in October not the "main" Bellingham route.
