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!
Even as the 265, CLS still operated some of the weekday peak time trips along with Deptford at points which although generally double deck operated would chuck up all sorts of oddities over the years from Fast Cats Solars to The Castle Express StreetDecks, was even more potential for oddities on an afternoon when the schools were off.
