I'm aiming for the 0905 #43 from Durham to Stanley, so if you can get into Durham before 9, then feel free to tag along?

I'll get the 43 from Durham. Sorry for posting in here and in the Nightingale thread but I needed an urgent answer as I won't be able to access my laptop until tomorrow now to find out the location on Google street view.

I really don't think you've mentioned this before? All that's missing is a full page spread in the Chronicle.

Our Control Room was going to put out a All Stations Call just in case someone had not heard! Your Travel Queries - Jimmi - 02 Sep 2015 Where's the nearest stop for Birtley Front Street on the 82? Need answer ASAP as I've just jumped on in Washington. RE: Your Travel Queries - S813 FVK - 02 Sep 2015 (02 Sep 2015, 1:15 pm)Jimmi wrote Where's the nearest stop for Birtley Front Street on the 82? Need answer ASAP as I've just jumped on in Washington. It stops on Birtley Front Street. Just cross the road after getting off for buses to Durham.

RE: Your Travel Queries - MurdnunoC - 02 Sep 2015 (02 Sep 2015, 7:31 pm)DanPicken wrote Which bus is the closest to Washington Services? Probably the X25. It stops near a pub at Portobello, then literally it's through a hole in the fence to Washington Services (Northbound).

It's quite a walk to the nearest bus-stop Southbound, the nearest you're gonna get is probably Ayton. Get the X25, then cross the bridge from the Northbound to the Southbound service area.

Well, that latest shot was taken in April 2015 and the last time I used it was probably around November 2002. I think it's unlikely to have been closed-off since April. There's also another hole you can go through. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@54.8905108,-1.5607002,3a,75y,3.96h,88.5t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sZFlmWVvPAVV88sFHQstI-Q!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en That's the pub and bus-stop to which I referred and, if you pan round towards the row of terraced houses to your right, you'll see another gap you can go through.

Board Inn. RE: Your Travel Queries - DanPicken - 02 Sep 2015 (02 Sep 2015, 8:03 pm)MurdnunoC wrote Board Inn. Thanks Adam.[GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES] RE: Your Travel Queries - BusLoverMum - 02 Sep 2015 Got to admit that "what's the nearest bus to this hole in a fence?" has to be my type of travel query RE: Your Travel Queries - Andreos1 - 03 Sep 2015 (02 Sep 2015, 8:03 pm)MurdnunoC wrote Board Inn. (02 Sep 2015, 8:08 pm)DanPicken wrote Thanks Adam.[GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES] If heading south on the X25, the stop is immediately opposite the Board Inn (right in front of the terraced houses in the link - just as the bus re-enters Portobello Road. The 82/A (can never remember which one goes in which direction - the one from Birtley) stops there. The other hole is between stops and would mean waking back on yourself. RE: Your Travel Queries - LeeCalder - 03 Sep 2015 If heading towards Washington on the 82 or Langley Park on the X25 from the Board Inn, then IT stops opposite the Board Inn, whereas if heading towards Newcastle on the X25 or Birtley on the 82A then you use the stop around the corner. Your Travel Queries - Jimmi - 05 Sep 2015 Struggling to find Thornton's. What do I do when I see the place with caravans? Your Travel Queries - Jimmi - 05 Sep 2015 I screwed up so badly! Idiot Jimmi.

Avoid the temptation to have your palm read. RE: Your Travel Queries - omnicity4659 - 05 Sep 2015 Caravans? Go straight to the end of the *wide* road, turn left, follow that path, you should pass the Household Waste Recovery Centre on your left, keep following the path, you should pass the village, turn left and stay on the path, you may need to cross the road. Keep on that road until you see a gap on the bush, with buses behind it. RE: Your Travel Queries - Jimmi - 05 Sep 2015 (05 Sep 2015, 2:51 pm)GX03 SVC wrote Caravans?
