Good news, after lots of negotiations between NCC and the bus companies we are getting more buses 🎉
This is something I’ve been asking for since we lost the hourly service on the coast for people heading to Berwick, Alnwick or beyond 🧳
🚌 Three more X18’s per day up and down between Alnwick and Berwick via Craster, Seahouses, Bamburgh and Belford from Monday to Saturday, a substantial increase over the previous timetable.
🏖️ The enhanced frequency operates all year round, not just during the summer season.
🔄 The X18 has been retimed alongside the 418 and 918 to provide a more even pattern of services and avoid buses running close together.
🚉 Passengers travelling to and from Chathill station will continue to have the 918 for the busiest commuter journeys
Full new timetable will start on the 26th of July, copy of it below 👇
