(Yesterday, 8:52 pm)MurdnunoC wrote So. the 794 originally ran between Consett and Longbenton DHSS, I believe, and the 602 obviously ran between Newcastle and Hexham. Presumably, it won't be doing the 870 (forerunner to the present 689) between Hexham and Consett so I'm guessing it's doing a straight run down the A68 from Castleside.

The only differences between the 10 & 602

- Via Crawcrook rather than Barmoor
- Via Swalwell rather than Chainbridge Road
- Also ran via A1 until either 2004 (the new interchange bridge) or Tridents replaced by B10BLEs
