Not sure about East Durham College but most courses at New College were finished for the day sometime between 3/4pm, although on my course we were some of the only ones who were timetabled to stay after that, our timetable says that we should have finished at 5pm everyday, that sounded awful but we preferred to stay the extra two hours a day than come in for half a day, especially me as I would have another day making an incredibly long journey.
Waiting for the bus at Framwellgate Moor on a night, most nights you wouldn't see many students waiting for the bus after about 1620 and the few who did were waiting specifically for the 1638 service 7 (including me).
