(22 Apr 2019, 4:05 pm)Malarkey That's ok as I wasn't thinking of using those services, what do they offer in terms of pricing for singles/day tickets?

I have no idea of current prices but when I lived in Thornley, it often cost about the same for me and one of hte boys to get a return to Durham on the 58 as just me on the Arriva 22. Obviously it took twice as long and there were half as many buses but it was cheap enough to be a good payoff, when I was in the mood for getting a sore back and earrache on an E200.

Do some of the Scarlet Band drivers know what an Explorer is?
Apparently the driver on the 13.05 58 from Durham doesn't. He had mistaken it for a GNE ticket.
I'm pretty sure the 58 accepts Explorers since I had one accepted before.

Unless its changed, they are valid on all routes except the 85 between Cockfield and Bishop Auckland, 111/112/113 between Ferryhill and Bishop Auckland. You'll need to have a pre-purchased ticket, as they cannot issue them.


Most drivers I've found are fine with them, but you get the odd one that will refuse it unless you argue the toss.

Interesting how you don't mention the Durham Park and Ride services. I believe Explorers aren't accepted on those either, at least that's what the driver told me when I asked.

Nah they're not valid. Only P&R tickets and ENCTS passes are.

I understand that they only want to be become a daytime service provider, based around the Park & Ride service.
DCC have told me which services that they want to give up to become the leaner operator, however I’m not allowed to divulge.

I'm guessing they're hitting the same issue that eyms had with subsidised services no longer being viable for them.

SB had the 58 removed because they had driver shortages and have had a lack of serviceable buses, over the past few months.
They asked DCC to find another operator, according to DCC Arriva have been after the 58 for quite a while.
