Went out yesterday (Thursday) to Durham to see the Arriva Frequenta 64 they had in the Marketplace. Route as follows as times on tickets display.
10:16 10B Prudhoe, Front Street - Newcastle, Eldon Square Bus Station (GNE 6074)
Didn't have time to stop for photos here due to The Castles Express being at its stop when entering the bus station, so I just went straight onto it.
11:09 X21, Newcastle, Eldon Square Bus Station - Durham Bus Station (GNE 6306)
Got to Durham and went to CeX to get an iPhone case I wanted, then proceeded to the Marketplace arriving at approx 12:12pm and got photos of bus, going back to the bus station after getting some shopping in M&S after this for around 12:30 and got some photos at the bus station while waiting for the 15 to Consett.
13:00 15, Durham Bus Station - Consett Bus Station (GNE 6013).
This journey took longer than expected due to an RTC by Stony Heap turn off on the A691, arriving in Consett at around 3pm after attempting to turn around getting stuck in a grass verge and was pulled out by a JCB and also had to wait for police to move their vehicles so the bus could go back towards Lanchester to Consett via Maiden Law bank which the President I was on struggled to get up. I intended to return home via Hexham, but I didn't realise that the 689 only runs once a day from Consett as didn't check before leaving home. So this leads to:
15:04 16, Consett Bus Station - Stanley Bus Station. (GNE 5286)
Stood around Stanley for a while as I wanted to sample the OmniDekkas to go to the MetroCentre and got some photos here.
15:58 6, Stanley Bus Station - MetroCentre Transport Interchange (GNE 6128)
I was going to get the train home from MetroCentre but arrived there just before 5pm so by the time I got to the lifts above the platform the train departed so resorted to plan B.
17:12 10B, MetroCentre Transport Interchange - Prudhoe Front Street ( GNE 6076)
