All buses are terminating on Market Street from Durham rather than going up John Dobson Street to Eldon Square, so not a major issue as you can get the Metro from Monument to Whitley Bay to avoid delays due to the road closures.

Just moving around the city centre is probably going to be pretty tricky mind. I expect there will be crowds of spectators and it's not a rally I'd put myself out for, TBH. We're going to the Seaburn transport day, next week, anyhow.

Could you not go back via Durham and a Purple Streetlite to Shields and get the ferry over?
It's a slog I admit and it's on a Purple Streetlite - for a long time... But at least it would get you there without facing the problems in the town.

We did contemplate the 50 (passes our house!), then ferry, but there's other steps after the ferry that we're not that confident of. It's a faff without the travel disruption, for an event less engaging than Howlands.

The Seasider goes to Whitley Bay from the ferry

Don't think they'd be able to get it on to the grounds for Seaburn.
