The 237/79A I hated. Too quiet, lucky to get 1 passenger per trip plus the route was different in each direction and not forgetting the first and last trips via East Rainton. Park Estate far too small for a bus (many a 3 point turn in a Solo).

The old 38 in anything bigger than a Solo with the right turn at the top of Black Road then then the left onto Nelson Street. After you've contended with that, you then need to hope no one has parked on the bends round Tunstall Bank.

Each route has its challenges but some more than others. Crossing the A690 in a Streetlite for example can be a nightmare at times. Dawdon (Mount Stewart Street?) can also be 'exciting' if you meet another bus at the corner.

I have been on the 202 and the 60 where they have met there. Also going up that street can be a pain if a bus is coming down. 

Also 96 is quite challenging after Team Valley, been on that alot, never crashed through. 

Never been on it but I hear 683(i think) has a few 3 point turns.

Any deptford or consett drivers, what is the 35 or 78 like to drive, with them being around 2hours long?
