• An offer of a £5000 subsidy to maintain bus services on the existing timetables has been rejected by Tyne Valley Coaches Ltd, Hex ham, and the firm is to apply to the Traffic Commissioners for permission to cut the timetables. At a meeting of Hexham rural council it was stated that the firm claimed its operating costs on the Hex hamBellingham-Newborough route were 16.5p a mile against the 13p a mile subsidy offered Cur Charlton said that if the timetable. was cut very much it would not qualify for any grant at all. The firm wanted a £10,000 subsidy, or twice that offered by the local and the county council. The latter had had great difficulty getting accounts from the company, Cllr Charlton added, and following investigation of the position was not willing to offer more than 13p a mile.
Tyne Valley Coaches has announced that its Newborough-Settlingstones route will be closed.
