Imagine all the routes you'd have to learn though. I counted at least 42 (4, 8, 13, 14, 15/15A, 21, 28/28A, 34/34A, 43/44/44A, 45/46, 50, 71, 78, 88/88A M2, M3, V1/V2, V3/V4, V5/V6, V8, V9, W5/W6, X1, X22, X25, X30/X31, X43, X70/X71, X88) if Stanley, Consett, Washington and Chester-le-Street merged.
