I haven't recovered from being not served by GNE since they abandoned the other side of Pelton Fell/Newfield to DCC.
739 Chester le Street - Pelton Fell - Grange Villa - Newfield - Chester le Street
740 Chester le Street - Newfield - Grange Villa - Pelton Fell - Chester le Street
When it was announced that it was becoming the 28/28A I had lengthy email discussions with the late Peter Huntley and DCC.
Funny how I went from a 4 buses per hour (peak) 2 buses per hour (off peak) to what is the 703 now.
Doubt the new housing being built at Newfield / Pelton Fell will have GNE divert a 28 once an hour.
We live in hope.
Come back General/Atkinsons!!
