The dead running path for those terminating at West is to take the A688 past Thinford and then connect onto the A1 at Bowburn. Those that terminate at Bishop return through Bondgate, up the bank on Durham Road then connect onto the above route at Coundon Gate roundabout.

That said, I once recall seeing a driver terminating at Bishop head down Newgate Street, as if heading out to West in service, to join the A688 from the roundabout at Watling Road akin to those returning light from West.
