51/52 seem to be two different tenders for an AM & PM<br />
<br />
The 939 is mentioned twice<br />
<br />
Im not entirely sure which 12 they are on about. I thought it was the 12 in South Shields but thats in may as its grouped with the 13<br />
<br />
The 67/69 dont share a contract but im not sure its always been the case or not<br />
<br />
No 644 so im assuming thats commercially ran by GNE<br />
<br />
Also im not sure which part of the 9 is nexus as it interworks with the 8]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[One Last Wander to Wooler<br />
<br />
<br />
Today marked the final day of the Northumberland County Council's contracted 266 service. Operated by Borders Buses, the route linked Berwick and Wooler and quickly became one of my favourite discoveries after the introduction of the TNE day tickets.<br />
<br />
<br />
Once news broke that the service was to be withdrawn, I knew I had to make the journey on its final ever working. From next week, the route will be partly replaced by a new 34A, running three days a week between Wooler and Cornhill before continuing to Kelso via Coldstream, Wark, and Carham. The remainder of the former 266 between Cornhill and Berwick via Norham will continue to be covered by the existing 67 Borders Buses service, which operates from Galashiels through Kelso and Coldstream.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here we see Borders Buses 12106 (RJ21 XDO) at Berwick Station, preparing to work the final round trip to Wooler and back on 28/02/26.<br />
