CrossCountry have teamed up with Arriva North East to offer combined rail and bus tickets to serve North Northumberland via Berwick-upon-Tweed railway station.
The new Belford Bus and Seahouses Bus tickets allow passengers to use one ticket for both bus and rail journeys. When booking online, passengers just need to select Belford Bus or Seahouses Bus as their origin or destination.
Arriva's X15 and X18 services visit some of the most scenic locations in Northumberland.
They run along the coast from Newcastle to Berwick. Passengers can then visit destinations such as Alnwick, Amble or Craster.
