In addition, they also have a depot at Stanhope (as you enter the town, with a petrol station attached) from where the part of the 101 and Consett runs are operated from.
Yeah, there has been a Weardale depot based in Weardale for donkeys years .
They only moved into Crook a few years back.
Not sure about it being in Birtley, but judging by the vehicles using the a693 quite a bit, it mustn't be too far.
