Further points on the 28.
By cutting it out of Old Durham Road your removing the link that Ouston and Birtley have to the QE Hospital which now includes the nearest Walk In Centre (which I believe is under someform of guarantee)
Your correct on loadings Andreos, never really that heavy out of peak hence them curtailing the route on an evening to a more local service. I was speaking to a colleague at Beamish who said loadings off the bus into the museum were fairly non existent. It would take pressure off the Durham Road corridor slightly but commuters will probably stick with a quicker 21 than going up through Wrekenton or down through Allerdene/Kibblesworth (where traffic is equally poor during peak)
