The 07:10 from Newcastle (07:57 from Stanley) and 15:25 from Lanchester get quite busy on that section as those journeys run into St Bede's picking up all the kids who opt not to get on Scholars services 823, 825 or 828. Other than that, doesn't get that busy.
So might be worth just having the 130 running Stanley-Lanchester via Burnhope and Quaking Houses and if the V8 won't operate anymore with Solos then that's where the buses could come from, or possibly the 706/707 is that is being withdrawn. It's only a 10 minute walk to the 78 bus stop anyway.
