No bus to bus tickets available, so they'd be forced into purchasing either two singles or a day ticket, if they wanted to save some time by using the 50 as far as CLS...
Taken to Chester-le-Street free of charge on the 50 (assuming it comes before the next 8) and then they would be permitted to travel on services 8/78 from Chester-le-Street to Stanley using the tickets they purchased on the bus which broke down.
I've been on buses in the past where this has been the case. Ask DaveyBowyer if you need a reminder of how useful radios are to contact drivers!
