Interesting as someone said that journey must have carried little passengers, but I’m guessing someone used it!It was probably either for some form of quota; note how it differentiates between journeys operated by an Olympian and those operated by a low floor vehicle, or one of those journeys that only existed because the council would subsidise it; there were journeys on the 202 that late (last departure being the 2300 from Peterlee; 2230 from Dalton Park).
Those subsidies were withdrawn in mid 2011 (this is why I feel like the other Peterlee routes are commercial) - here's a timetable from April 2011 and note the last bus is much earlier and the Sunday service has gone completely - also, no mention of non-Easy Access buses, I think this is about the time they sold the ELC Olympians.
