Welcome to services 85/685/X85. Arriva journeys on 85/685 provide a guaranteed connection at Haydon Bridge with through
fares available and no bus change required (for stopping points please see website for full 85/685/X85 stop details). Stagecoach
685 journeys, shown grey shaded, operate Newcastle to Hexham, Hexham to Brampton and Brampton to Carlisle also with
guaranteed connections, through fares and no bus change. Arrows in the timetable indicate possible connection opportunities at
Hexham Bus Station between Arriva and Stagecoach journeys, unfortunately these connections between operators are not
guaranteed. Stagecoach times are included for guidance but may be subject to alteration during the currency of this Arriva
timetable and should be confirmed at the time of travel. The early a.m. and late p.m. Arriva timetable has been revised with a
new early through journey into Carlisle weekdays and an added earlier afternoon fast X85 to Hexham (the underused 0757 85
from Hexham no longer runs).
Ticket availability between Arriva and Stagecoach:- All valid tickets are accepted by both operators with the exception of
school passes and m-tickets (these mobile phone tickets are valid only on Arriva). North East and North West Explorers are sold
and valid throughout giving passengers the opportunity for onward travel into Cumbria or the North East by buying the
appropriate Explorer when boarding ask the driver for your best ticket options for your journey/s that day).
Service Features:- The scenic 85/685 routes run from Newcastle on the Tyne to Carlisle on the Eden bridging east to west in
line with Hadrian's Wall and linking these fine cities of history and heritage for you to discover, enjoy and revisit with much to
explore along the route. Daytime visitors to Carlisle and Hadrian's Wall country can enjoy a full day of business or leisurely
exploration and extend their stay to travel back on the 1912 or 2012 later departures perhaps taking in a relaxed early evening
supper in the vibrant city centre.
