(20 Mar 2015, 8:19 pm)Tom I've got a few things planned over the next few weeks.

I've got Thursday 26th off, then I'm off for two weeks starting next Thursday.

I'm intending to do:
- Weardale
- Northumberland
- County Durham
- Sunderland

Anyone got any ideas on some nice things to do, especially Weardale/County Durham as I don't have much knowledge of those areas.

In County Durham, you could visit Stanley. Nothing is burned down or anything - just stay away from Chester-le-Street, you might catch something. (Runs away from Marcus chasing me with a weapon of his choice) Tongue

Have to admit - Consett is a bit of a chav magnet. Only decent place imo is Durham. Everywhere else is pretty bare.

Aye I suppose.
Might try some of the Ventures (V1/V2, V9 and 689 seem decent), and possibly the Weardale 764.

Weapon of choice: 3813 (citaro5284 at the wheel and me in the machine gun turret in the front upper window). Big Grin

To be honest, it's the little villages towards Stanley (Craghead, etc) that the scruffy ''regulars'' in Chester-le-Street town centre on an average day that find their way down this way!

The worst place in Stanley has to be Hollyhill Gardens - buses often got their windows put out round that way on a night. Hopefully they leave these Streetlites alone!

There are a couple of sections of the route that have practically no buildings at all and have nice views. Would be a lot better if you get a decker of some sort. The main sections are Craghead to Edmondsley and Sacriston to New College.

Doubt it would, the Tyne Valley Line doesnt go through Workington or down the Cumbrian Coast. Unfortunately this time you'd have to go to it rather than it coming to you.
