Ah yes. There was the 700 which went through Annfield Plain (as apposed to round Tanfield Lea like the Hunters 713). 710 which went to Quaking Houses via Tyne Road (effectively South Stanley), the 711 which is the current 130 (Same route) and the 712 which went to Burnhope.
I still have one of the old 'Gotta go somewhere' timetables they used to produce with all routes in. Love looking through it just to remind me of how the Stanley and Consett network used to look. Why they renumbered and withdrew some services i do not know.
