As it should serve all the bus stops and in regards to the broadway it should stop on one side all the time. Sounds like GNE need to sort out which way the bus goes I've always known it to do Dairy Lane-Burn Park Road-Newbottle Street-Broadway-Dairy Lane, but I'm not that often on the 71, and it shouldn't be chopping and changing.
Whichever way it does go to Houghton, it always has the opportunity to stop at the Durham, Easington Lane stop outside the Church on Broadway - either by turning around on the roundabout outside the Kingdom Hall or by heading up Burn Park Road.
There is no excuse for it not doing so.
However, I think some clarification needs making with regard to the route into Houghton.
Edit 8233 on the 2a heading towards Washington now approaching Biddick.
Sounds as healthy as ever.
