That 57 isn’t meant to be on the website.
It was dropped in favour of a revised 58 - which I believe will not serve Thornley and run direct from Wheatley Hill to Wingate.
Has anyone seen the timetable for the new 58, I can’t see to find it and there’s nothing showing on bustimes, Arriva or Google for me. Google is suggesting a three hour one way trip from Cassop, which includes a walk to Kelloe, the 59 and two trains via Middlesbrough and Darlington to get to Durham City Centre!
As for the new 58, I’m thinking it’ll serve Thornley still it’s actually stops in Wheatley Hill that’ll be missed (such as those on Front Street, Quilstyle Road & Quetlaw Road) as it I think it won’t do the loop like the 22/57 does now and it’ll rejoin the A181 to go past the Jet Garage.
Local councillors in Trimdon aren’t happy about the two-hourly 59 bus, there’s a meeting on Friday - which apparently has representatives from Arriva and Durham County Council.
