I didn't realise Dalton Park had a adidas shop so next time I'm there I'll have a look. Same here would take me 3 to get to Dalton Park, same as it would to Gretna. I never bothered with it because I though it'd be similar to Royal Quays which is a load of crap, not many half decent brands there at all.
The stock seems to change on a regular basis.
Some isn't my taste at all.
Other stuff I love.

Still takes 45 minutes for what would be a 15 minute drive, though. Not as bad as the Trimdons and Sedgefield, which are 2 buses and over an hour away, despite being practically on my doorstep.
DP isn't far in the car from mine. 10 mins roughly (15mins according to Google maps).
An absolute nightmare by bus, that can be done in one of 3 ways - the majority (unless military planning is involved) at least three buses. The longest in distance is the one which involves two buses, will take an hour - assuming I jump off one bus and immediately on to another.
That isn't likely to happen.
If I miss a 265 from Hetton (the trip that is the shortest mileage wise, but one that involves 3 buses) - well yeah, you can guess how long that journey takes.
Either way, on a good day you can see it takes a similar amount of time as it does you to Sedgefield.
The only bonus of using a GNE red ticket to DP, is the pence per mile it costs to get there and back. Literally pennies due to the ridiculous journey I would need to take.
