Durham's a minefield. Infact most of Co. Durham is as it's too rural and places are miles apart. You have to remember GoNorthEast has pretty much abandoned the county and the places it hasn't it's doing a good job at pulling out with severe service cuts and the vast majority of the cuts coming in July involve Durham or Darlington. There's barely nothing in Stockton / Middlesbrough / Redcar in comparison which imo need investment more, especially the 63 which is the most frequent Arriva route in the North East.

Semi rural routes are struggling all over the place though.
