It worked and carried a greater number of passengers prior to its cancellation and the introduction of the 71.
Simplifying the route between Chester and Newcastle has had its negatives. The 71 being one of them...
As for your idea, that re Langley Park and 25, that could work.
The short link between the hubs of Houghton and Chester, isn't working.
A through route or two could.
hmmmmm...Interesting, but any service that came to Murton from Newcastle would be something that came through Washington...
However it would provide a link from East Durham to Chester-le-Street...
More importantly GNE may not entertain an idea that could see FPP militants being directly connected by bus to other militants in the East Durham area(sorry...my daft mind is going astray again, lol)
