We were at Morpeth in #42633 which has been mysteriously deleted.
How peculiar. Must have been for a reason.

Anyway, leaving Cramlington station, we take the twelve minute/0.5 mile walk to Newlyn Drive Roundabout and board the 1946 Stagecoach North East service 37 to Denton Burn (Broadwood Road/Whickham View Terminus), arriving there at 2053 on Sunday evening.

With things traditionally being a bit limited on Sunday evenings, we'll return on the 2255 Go North East service Q3 to Newcastle, Haymarket Bus Station in the interests of keeping us moving for a bit longer, arriving there at 2311 on Sunday.

We walk to the bus station at the front of the interchange and there board the 2344 Stagecoach Manchester service 11 to Baguley (Tesco) that arrives there at 2358 on Monday evening.
I presume that the alighting point should read Baguley (Timpson Road).

Anything still running at that time of the night, or is it time now for an overnight break?

Shortish walk to Skipton railway station, and then board the 1057 Northern train service to Hellifield, arriving 1110 on Tuesday. Opportunity to visit the station café!
