Like it was said earlier on the page, Can the newish buses cope, its a long route.
Even if they cope for a year or two, better for passengers than current crop.
It's not an easy route at all. The hills down into Chester Le Street, back up towards Beamish, into the museum itself now, through Handenhold, Pelton, Ouston and down Station Lane, then either up Long Bank and Sheriffs Hill or down through Lamesley and up through Bensham.
The route has changed since the days of the ECW and then the Spectras etc on the 733
