(31 May 2015, 8:31 pm)Jackamcardle I think it was around 2004, and I have a photo of it in my room that I got from the bus rally, and it said that it went via the MetroCentre. It was using a Dennis Dart, 543 to be precise.

(31 May 2015, 8:37 pm)MurdnunoC Yeah, I forgot it was extended beyond Dunston around about that time to replace services 613, 622 and 623 in the Crawcook and Greenside area. Service 64 was also extended and a service 65a was also introduced. 64 and 65 may have terminated in Chopwell and the 65a may have terminated at either Greenside or High Spen. I know the 65a ran direct between Ryton and Greenside via Woodside Lane.

(31 May 2015, 8:40 pm)Jackamcardle Thanks, I was just trying to figure out where it terminated, it would have been a fairly good route!

(31 May 2015, 10:38 pm)G-CPTN I have tried to decipher the 'legend' of Vehicle Manufacturers and Body Builders.
I can guess Ld is Leyland and AEC is obvious, as is MCW, ECW, Roe, Dr Daimler, Bl Bristol, and LN Leyland National.
Pn will be Plaxton, Wk Willowbrook, Du Duple, Ar Alexander, Wn Weymann, PR Park Royal, Rm Routemaster, Bm Burlingham, and Ml Marshall.
Re is, presumably, Renown.
Phew!

IIRC the 64/64A/65 went to Blackhall Mill at some point. Will have to check out my photos to see.
