To be fair, when we had a bus station, I'd often get the consett or Stanley buses and walk up from the hospital but, with the current arrangement, you can't really just hop on the first thing going in roughly the right direction, so we just hover around the 50/21/X21 stand as the easiest to get to and the safest bet.
And I remember that hop to the hospital was cheaper than the 64 on some buses. Even with the added walk and recent fare changes, £1.70 is still more than the 64, I think.
