I've mentioned the 194 missing out a section of route in Fatfield at chucking out time and I'm sure the 27 was the same along Kells Lane/Dryden Road at one point.
It was as though operators didn't want to have to deal with passengers and discouraged people using them back from the pub.
Surely counterproductive?
Yes, the last 27 on a Sunday night (back when Sunday night on Low Fell was rammed) got rerouted via Valley Drive and Old Durham Road to miss out Kells Lane. I believe it was because there was a big problem with drunks getting on and not paying the fare so eventually GNE just thought enough is enough. They originally did that in the mid nineties but that diversion remained in place for ages. It was only ever on a Sunday night that it diverted, on Friday and Saturday it still went along Kells Lane.
