I was thinking of an early start from Durham to Darlington on the 7, photo some of the sapphires and gas buses in Darlington, head across to Boro on the X66 to see what's out, head up to Newcastle and then across to Consett for the venture solos. I'll draw a route up when I'm home.
Any suggestions or tips?
Also was thinking of a trip to Carlisle to see the Stagecoach Gold. Anyone done this and is it worth the day out?
I've yet to go to Darlington, but hope to visit in the near future. Boro I visited last year, and it's a bit of a dump, but the buses are good
Consett is defiantly worth a visit, and so is Hexham. Maybe if you can fit it in get the 689 from Hexham to Consett or vice-versa!
