Worryingly, wibblejunior and I need to be in Chester-le-Street mid morning on Wednesday (it's very early for him ) and I'm thinking we should give ourselves an hour to get there, rather than the usual half hour. Or persuade husband to drop us off, if his work obligations allow.
And those cancellations, if you've been into Newcastle and want to get back to Durham and beyond, after lunch, mean that you have an x21 at 2-ish, a 21 just after 3 and the next full length x21 is at 4-ish. That is pretty poor.
