It'll be my first day on north east buses since 2013; I've always kept up to date on what's new/changed across the region but I'm wondering if anyone here has some highlights to reccomend I should cover?
Probably going to use an explorer ticket, starting point isn't an issue as will be driving but will need to return to the same point.
the 74 to Hexham and then the 689 to Consett is a nice journey, Though trying to connect with them can be a issue sometimes.
