I got off at Tesco so I could get a bus from there back into Consett town centre, and didn't know where St James Court was. Transport links for those with reduced mobility are vital, and ideally should be free to use for those passengers for the purpose of inclusion. The 763/764/773 are nice little buses/services, the 763 just struck me as rather short, and I couldn't understand its purpose (hence asking the question). Weardale (in partnership with Durham Council, maybe could put together a nice little network of services, the 763 for example doesn't run enough really and could run further).
