It looks like a transit-van minibus is used for this service and, according to their website, you may have to register as a member of Weardale Community Transport before you are allowed to use it.

Are you sure you are looking at the correct Weardale?

(27 Jun 2014, 7:13 pm)AdamY I was tempted by the Zafira too. I'm surprised Compass haven't borrowed it to use on the 8X.
It is the correct Weardale. If you click on the 'Roof of England' link it takes you a description of the service including last years' timetable.

(02 Jul 2014, 4:20 pm)Marcus I use the 71 regularly - it gets pretty decent loadings.
It seems like people get on in Houghton and get off in Fencehouses, then it runs empty to Lumley then a bunch of people get on and get off in Chester.

(02 Jul 2014, 4:22 pm)Dan How many actually give the driver some money when they get on though?
Referring back to my post above again: there were two Get Around day tickets that boarded at Chester and then 7 pensioners who boarded at various parts of the route.
You may think 9 passengers is good, but when none of them actually hand any cash over...

(02 Jul 2014, 4:26 pm)Marcus I always pay my 90 pence Get Around fare
From what I've been told by a lot of Chester's drivers, and from personal experience - it's at it's busiest in the morning from when it starts up until about the 10:40 arrival in Chester. Throughout the rest of the afternoon it seems like the former 65.
A lot of passengers on mornings appear to people going to college or school, a lot of whom seem to buy day tickets or day savers.

(02 Jul 2014, 4:30 pm)Dan Yes, so I'd assume that those morning runs do indeed make a profit - how substantial that is, I'm not sure.
I think local councillors must have had their two-penneth in regards to the frequency remaining at 30 minutes though. I'd imagine it would be alright at a 60 minute frequency, but they must have to self-subsidise the majority of the rest of the day to keep it going in its present form.
