Tight but possible but thats a hell of a climb for a DAF to make, its at Long Bank levels of steepness the Avenue
After turning left from Station Road onto Durham Road to set down at the bus stop there, it could feasibly turn right up Orchard Street then left down Birtley Lane for its return journey. From what I recall, everything seems to be one-way and it is theoretically possible to get a bus up there.
It won't get up Orchard Street it's too tight in terms of cars and then the turn out on Birtley Lane is incredibly tight
