From Monday 16th October, the interim bus station will close. Changes to the plans with Arch and Northumberland County Council see that Ashington will no longer have a 'proper' bus station.
From first bus on Monday 16th October, two new bus stops opposite Poundstretcher will open.
Information from Arriva regarding the closure:
Service 1 towards Blyth (services from Widdrington/Cresswell/Wansbeck Hospital) will now depart from Woodhorn Road, outside of Sports Direct (current 35 to Morpeth stand)
Service 1 towards Blyth (services that start from Ashington) will now depart from Stand G (current 35 to Woodhorn stand).
Service 1 to Wansbeck Hospital/Cresswell/Widdrington will now depart from Woodhorn Road, outside of Select Conveniences.
All other services will depart from the new bus stops outside Poundstretcher, on both sides of the road.
