Getting back is fine, as long as you don't mind the 20 minute walks and half hour waits for connections.
As I've said before, when he started there was a direct bus from Durham to Amazon, but that was binned off presumably due to lack of funding from Amazon?
How long would the diversion into Amazon really take? And you cant say it's due to lack of space because they built a dedicated bloody bus station there!
I know that the local Councillors at the time, not only worked with the developer and Amazon to ensure there was bus infrastructure in place, but also with Arriva in attempt to get buses to serve integra61.
From what I understand, Arriva would not play ball at all, refusing to divert anything from the main road. So you now have the crazy situation of a site layout with buses in mind, several bus stops and shelters, but no buses...
