FULL ROUTE JOURNEY | Arriva Northumbria Route X15 - Newcastle To Berwick-upon-Tweed | SK72CVW/7580

Full Route Journey on-board the Arriva Northumbria X15 service between Newcastle and Berwick-upon-Tweed, via Morpeth & Alnwick.
Service X15 is the quicker version of the X18 which takes 4 hours to complete, and although both run to most of the same places, the X18 branches off to the Coastal Villages twice, whilst the X15 sticks mostly with the A1...
It's indeed a nice route to enjoy, although the journey times are slightly excessive, but it's certainly worth trying out as from observations this service does get used as a bus to go on holiday and day trips on, what with it stooping at the Haggerston Holiday Park on route to Berwick, aswell as Beal for Holy Island.
Apologies about the noise from the air con, it's absolutely crazy these were designed without the customer in mind in this respect, especially given how loud it can be when sitting directly next to it for a long period of time...
Have a watch of my X15 visual, returning to Newcastle from 2022:

Going via the A1 is certainly quicker with beautiful countryside views but if passengers and/or tourists prefer more spectacular views and scenery, the X18 would be the better alternative provided they don't mind the massive extension of journey length! 🤣 The loud air con could be mistook for a hairdryer couldn't it? 😂

I've done that route in it's original United incarnation,later Northumbria and then Arriva.I have a feeling that United used 500 numbers on it and not X's and Northumbria inherited those numbers.

Ah yes, the extremely loud fan typical to pretty much all newer MMCs
