I can't say anything about mornings as I haven't been over that way at rush hour on a morning but the traffic is definitely worse from Gilesgate during the daytime and I have seen the 22/24 often Arrive anything up to 15 minutes late (sometimes more) and the 20/20A have often arrived in Durham Bus Station within seconds of each other at times.

(21 Aug 2015, 9:58 pm)Jimmi wrote Try getting into Durham from Gilesgate, at least 20 minutes to get from Gilesgate Sainsburys to Durham Bus Station on most journeys I've done on the services that run along that way since the roadworks started so I disagree to some extent. I am not getting another 20/20A, 22/24, 208 or 265 into Durham until the roadworks end as the traffic is horrendous in this area at the moment.

Delays expected in Durham as works are due to start.

(15 Jan 2016, 12:07 pm)Andreos1 wrote Completely forgot to mention this the other day - but members of staff from DCC have been in Peterlee bus station, conducting surveys on smoking/smoking in the bus station.

There were at least two members of staff asking questions about how regularly you use the station, whether smokers flout bans and are seen to be smoking in the station and if anything could be done to improve things with regard to maintaining the ban.

(15 Jan 2016, 8:19 pm)BusLoverMum wrote Most people stand in front of the doors to smoke, there. And, unless it's cold or wet, most people stand in front of the doors, regardless!

(16 Jan 2016, 11:03 am)Andreos1 wrote Similar to North Road?

I only ever use Peterlee to change buses, so have never ventured anywhere other than the bus stands.

I've made the choice not to pollute my lungs, so I'd really prefer it if others didn't do it for me.

(20 Jan 2016, 3:35 pm)Jimmi wrote Good, although I dare bet that after a few weeks they won't bother and just go back to hiding in their cubbyhole.

On the subject of Durham Bus Station, are they ever going to fix that door next to stand A?

(21 Jan 2016, 4:07 pm)BusLoverMum wrote There's sketchy details of the roadworks, here

Not seen anything on te ANE website about arrangements for the 22, 24 and 64 on Sunday, of course, though there was a notice taped up on one of the buses I caught today. Diversion via the A690. Not much good if you only catch the bus on a Sunday because there was nothing up on either bus I caught on Monday - one of them being the same as today's with the notice.

(21 Sep 2016, 2:51 pm)cbma06 wrote been told by DCC transport section that the service will be run by DCC fleet, I work at Wheatley Hill and customers are saying about when there lost there link to Deaf Hill and trimdon areas.

About service 214 Haswell-Thornley-Wheatley Hill-Peterlee Industrial estate, I was asking DCC about what operates this service as I havn't seen a mini bus etc... going along the route at the set time, the reply back was:

Tony’s Taxis is operated under his ‘Restricted PSV Licence’ which allows a licensed taxi or private hire vehicle to be used on a local service (ie capable of carrying 8 or fewer passengers). To be honest I don’t know what he is currently operating it with or displaying but it can be used between any two points on the route.

(19 Sep 2016, 2:42 pm)cbma06 wrote service 216 timetable is not yet available on the DCC website at present.

(21 Sep 2016, 5:36 pm)BusLoverMum wrote Aye, when we moved here, like 13 years ago, there was a minibus that did a similar route, but that bit the dust when we got the 57a
