WHILE I think it has been inevitable for some time that the 687 bus service would be reduced, I was happy with the news that we would still have three daily buses to Hexham from Corbridge..

My happiness was short lived however, when I learned that the buses were at 10.55am, 11.50am, & 12.55pm!

Surely morning, midday and afternoon buses would have been much more appropriate, and useful, to cater for the needs of passengers, and possibly more profitable to the bus service.

Obviously this rather bizarre service suits only the bus company and ignores the needs of its passengers.
