Update on my earlier post about the Chester le Street shuttle there has been an improvement this afternoon they now have a nice bright yellow and black sign in the window of the van that is clearly visible saying free shuttle. They are also now running to the correct timetable but I still think a low floor Solo or similar should have been used.
I agree with Greg in Weardale in saying that not using Durham Road is an unnecessary inconvenience. Having to get off the North bound 21 at Chester Moor and wait for a shuttle seems silly when the 21 could serve the stops on Durham Road then turn right into Ropery Lane using the first bus stop for passengers requiring the south end of the Front Street.
