Ferrying the judges around on a Streetlite probably did the bid no favours too. GNE could have picked a better vehicle with less rattles...

To be fair to them, the judges won't have had one bus for the duration of their trip. 
There will have been a range of services and multiple changes to get to Durham City Centre that demonstrated the excellent value for money day tickets. 

Depending on connection times at Stanley Bus Station, they may have been able to pop in to Asda to kill some time too!
