Thornley and Wheatley Hill to Durham are £7 return on the 22. It's a 20 minute journey, including the crawl along Gilesgate. The villages manage to be outside all of the discounted fare zones, including Durham District and are nowhere near the boundary of the East Durham zone. It stings and drivers who don't know the route so well often wince when I ask for a ticket because hardly anyone who doesn't have a concessionary pass bothers with the bus.
