If they're running to any sort of timetable, it doesn't match the ones on North Road. Waited 25 minutes for a 7, this morning. One came straight past us, empty, passing another empty and driverless one, at the stop. On the return, it took me half an hour to get home from North Road after getting off the 7 back to Durham. I could walk it, in that time, before my knee took a severe dislike to the hills.

I'm not sure what time it was but Whessoe Road is shut and it's causing bother in Darlington especially North Road atm. The empty ones could be drivers running out of hours or they're trying to get it back on time. 

They had a FB message apologising about delays there for the next 2 weeks.
