Many moons ago when I was doing a Drama Course in Stanley I was living in Framwellgate Moor, but one night was going back to my folks in Murton, got on the bus at Durham about 4:10pm, bus got to Hetton School and was turned round as parts of Hetton was flooded because of heavy rain, I finally got to Murton 2.5 hours late, making the return the next day to College, got on the bus in Murton at 8am, supposed to get to Durham just before 9am and onto Stanley for just before 10 am, I rolled into Durham at 11:30 and Stanley for 12:30, only to find to college had cancelled that day, I was the only idiot who managed to make it through...It had been belting down all night and the bus to Durham was stuck in traffic all the way from the Blacksmiths Arms in Pittington
