I agree, Birtly Road is bad at peak time, particularly around the A693 junction. Once you're on the A693 it's a blast up and probably quicker than from Stanley to Consett, which Drum Park is on.
Greencroft park, near Maiden law, wouldn't also be a bad option being close to Lanchester, A691 so fast links to Durham/Consett and Stanley. Would be a bit of a pain to get an 8/78 to Park Lane from there, but some could be sent to Deptford to even things out.
