Changes to services in Hexham from 28 November

Hexham's new bus station will come into use from Wednesday 30 November. Ahead of this, there will be changes to the times of some services and improvements to others which will come into effect on Monday 28 November.

Service changes and improvements from 28 November

Tynedale Xpress X84 & X85

  • X84 will be changed to use the A69 between Hexham and Corbridge. This will provide a new hourly service Mondays to Saturday daytimes calling at stops on Stagshaw Road, Hill Street and Watling Street in Corbridge, convenient for people in St Helen’s Lane, Corchester Lane and Priory Gardens. This will give links from this part of Corbridge to Hexham, Wylam and Newcastle. To avoid congestion caused by parked cars on the narrow Towne Gate in Heddon, the bus will only call at the Three Tuns in both directions.
  • An extra journey is being provided on service X85 on Mondays to Fridays leaving Eldon Square at 5.30pm, arriving in Hexham at 6.18pm and continuing to Beaumont Park at 6.28pm. To improve reliability, the 6.15pm journey from Eldon Square to Beaumont Park will run ten minutes later Mondays to Fridays and 5 minutes later on Saturdays.
