I live in Durham but stay in Chester for work purely because the buses are more frequent and I can easily get a different 21 if the one from Durham isn't running. I'm one to get an earlier bus in case something happens to the later one, I don't really have that kinda luxury when I'm coming from Durham to Newcastle for work.
If all these breakdowns recently are something to go by, you can't go wrong setting off early. I always like to have that peace of mind
A lot of people from Durham to Newcastle travel via train as it's much much quicker and reliable (13 mins vs 60 mins). It has very good loads between the two stations, especially at peaks. You'd have to be pretty into buses to sit on the 21 for 80 minutes on some peak boards.
