Public transport information

An introduction to public or passenger transport in Northumberland, and to our Public Transport Strategy

Public transport

 

The county of Northumberland offers an extensive network of buses and trains both for local travel and for travelling further afield.  The county council’s website includes information on travel by bus and train, as well as details of how to obtain information directly from bus and train operators and other information providers.

Most local buses in Northumberland are provided by the bus operators without control or subsidy from the county council.  A minority of services are subsidised and run on contract to the county council or to one of the neighbouring authorities.

You can find information on public transport from the following pages on this website:
