At least you managed to get a bus straight back to Peterlee otherwise you'd have died of bordom waiting an hour for the next one, there is only so much time you can kill in Aldi, Poundstretcher and Tesco Extra (seriously Newton Aycliffe must be the only town in the UK that doesn't have a pound shop, even really posh towns have a pound shop, Ferryhill even has one for gods sake!).
Saw on the Live Map that 4813 was running 10-15 mins late, and realised that the quickest way of getting to Fellgate was on that 21 followed by the X10 to Heworth (versus X66 to Stockton then X10 to Heworth, or 7 to Durham followed by the onward connections).
X10 was running late, so decided to see what the crack was with the new 22 instead - now on the Metro to Fellgate (on time!!!)
