What buses would get me there/back (Corbridge).
I know that the TEN runs hourly (via the Metrocentre) and the bus stop near the Park on A183 Chester Road Penshaw mentions 2, 2A, 78, 78A, S451 and S465 - do they run Sundays, where from and how late?
I don't want to be marooned in Penshaw.
That's quite a trek - especially on a Sunday!
You have a number of options once you hit Newcastle (or Gateshead via Metrocentre on X66). You could catch the X1 to Washington Galleries (every 30 minutes), 21 to Chester-le-Street (every 10 minutes), or 56 to Sunderland (every 20 minutes).
From Washington Galleries, you'd then catch a 2/2A to Penshaw (every 20 minutes).
From Chester-le-Street, you'd then catch a 78/78A to Penshaw (every 30 minutes).
From Sunderland, you'd have the option to catch either the 2/2A or 78/78A (frequencies as above).
In Sunderland, services 2/2A only stop within the City Centre and no longer serve Park Lane. I'm not sure how familiar you are with Sunderland City Centre, but there are several stops in the City Centre, with the most notable perhaps being on Holmeside near the club named 'The Point'. Services 78/78A do stop in Park Lane Interchange, though, so if you're not familiar with the City Centre, you should have no issues connecting at Park Lane.
Towards Sunderland, the last 2/2A leaves Penshaw at 23:36. Likewise, the last 78A leaves Penshaw at 22:52. In the opposite direction, the last 2 to Washington Galleries departs at 22:59 and likewise the last 78A to Chester-le-St at 23:23.
