Tbf it's the locations of the stops which baffle me. Like Durham Services why would anyone want to be there?

I could understand during the day but it's going to be like 23:45 - it's in the middle of nowhere. 

The Metrocentre Coach Park being another one, great place to exchange for buses etc - but nothing runs at that time of night.

Surprised there's not later Metro's either. 23:30 is tight for the last train to the coast up this way.
