But it begs the question about why the people in the cars on the A1231 and Durham Road aren't on a bus.
Is it because the buses along that portion of Durham Road tend to start and finish in the same area (Newcastle and Chester/Durham) and the 8 doesn't offer a viable alternative (assuming the car drivers aren't travelling exactly the same route as the 8 goes) to their car?
