The 65 was definitely a CLS route directly before it was replaced with the 65. As this rare working appears to confirm, with a CLS based Lambton Worm DAF for service 34 appearing on the service - https://www.flickr.com/photos/chriswhite...otostream/
That timetable is pretty similar to the last the 65 timetable I remember before it was replaced with the 65. The first buses always started at Seaham and the last journey from Seaham terminated at Hetton even when the last journey was 20:15.
And I also remember it interworking with the 877 scholar bus as it would occasionally throw up some rare branded workings, I recall Lime B10s and Whey Aye 5-0s moonlighting in Seaham!
