LATEST NEWS – March 2024
After more than two years of campaigning, we’re delighted to say that the bus service is now up and running between Morpeth and Alnwick.

At the moment there are three trips in each direction on a Saturday, with stops at the Cook and Barker in Newton and at The Square in Swarland – but it will also operate on a ‘hail and ride’ basis and will stop where its safe to do so.

The fare for the new 415 service is capped at £2 per journey – all bus passes are accepted. The timetable also allow users to travel to Newcastle if they wish.

We are still hoping to get a weekday service later in the year and are continuing to work with Northumberland County Council.

Funding is in place to run the Saturday service for 12 months, so it is key to demonstrate that there is demand for the route. So why not leave the car at home, forget about finding a parking space – and hop on the bus!
