You are right about routes from Darlington that have good scenery I'd strongly recommend the X75/X76 and Scarlet Band 84 and I think there may be some other good routes as well.
I used to like the old United bus garage and station at Feethams. Very handy for spotting. I was in Darlo last week and noticed it has now been demolished. You used to be able to get a direct bus from Newcastle to Darlo but now you have to change at Durham.
I like that there is an Arriva service that drops you off right outside their Faverdale garage. Saves a lot of walking!
