I do think the route is a legacy of days gone by and for whatever reason has stuck about.
Would love someone to clarify its legacy!
Not too different to the 968.
Slightly different to its original guise, but one that shadows commercial routes.
I can't see many people using either end to end, but the 968 gets used locally and has been around for a fair few years too.
The Longbenton DSS had a number of services from a wide ranging area, 792 and 794 are survivors from the "northern" catchment area. There used to be a 691 which ran Chopwell to the DSS but via Ryton and Newburn bridge.
If you are planning to ride the 792 or 794 please note access to DWP Tyne View Park is to employees only as it is classed as government property.
