34/34A do opposite loops around Urpeth Grange rather than both going the same way.
There was a major campaign a few years ago, after a young lass was hit by a van and left permanently brain damaged.
The provision of footpaths on the side away from the houses, is virtually nil.
No idea why this hasn't been changed over the years.
There may be something hidden in here (http://parishes.durham.gov.uk/ouston/Pages/Minutes.aspx
There was a variation of the 34 a few years ago, following the 2006 changes - that went in the clockwise direction. Prior to that, I think the 733 was the last clockwise service.
