However, according to a map printed in my 1981 timetable booklet of the North Durham area, it was the 733 went up Station Lane between Pelton Fell and Pelton on its way to Ouston where it then terminated.
There you go!
Always wondered which bus went along there - now I do.
It is quite narrow along there, so always imagined it was a post 86 minilink.
