Hoppa / B2 Bus Service
21 May 2025
Colleagues at Northumberland County Council have updated the Town Council on planned improvements to the Hopper Bus, which is becoming the B2,with a revised route and timetable which will come into effect from 26 May 2025. These changes form part of the wider efforts to enhance accessibility and convenience.
The revised route will offer a more useful and balanced shopping connection by serving Tesco in both directions, correcting the previous arrangement where passengers could only travel one-way via Tesco or Asda. This improvement offers greater flexibility for users and simplifies journeys, particularly for those with mobility challenges or time constraints.
In addition, by extending the B2 route it will improve access to Loaning Meadows Retail Park, from the west of the town. This expansion opens up new travel opportunities for shopping, employment, and leisure, and we hope it will support local businesses as well as benefit residents.
