Good job Arriva upped the 7 to half hourly on Sundays, means I only have to stand around Durham like a fanny for 25 mins and not 55 mins now, thanks to missed connections.
I'll take the car/train next time, thanks GNE.
Just been looking at bustimes and it has barely had a chance to get a top up of diesel, never mind a clean or any mechanical attention.
