This is pants service. Breakdowns happen but cancelling the last service without replacement is poor.
Restart the service from Peterlee using a Solo just finished from the indigos and arrange ticket acceptance on the following Arriva 24.
Where is the driver going to come from? How is the bus going to get back to Peterlee? How much money are they going to pay Arriva for ticket acceptance of, let's face it, not many people being left "stranded".
