Would welcome any comments/feedback as always.
Echo the previous comment - very well written, balanced and informative.
As Peter suggested, Durham County Council found the funds to maintain services to Chester-le-Street on service 28, Burnhope and Lanchester on service 30 (as service 730) and Houghton-le-Spring and Seaham on service 71. They continue to be operated by Go North East commercially until such a time comes that Durham County Council can procure a replacement service that they tender. Despite these service changes being agreed with the local authority many months ago, I think the service change date crept upon them and they weren’t able to procure replacement services in time.
Go North East also maintained a service to Pelaw Estate, as 734, in the ‘dead time’ of the 28, which would have otherwise been used as a layover period.
