Hunters of Tantobie originally operated the services as service 806/807 and it took around 20 minutes to get around. However, when Stanley Travel took over they added the Hamsterley Gardens and Fines Park section in which added a further 10 minutes to the previous run time. The services ran as 806/807 for a few months before they were renumbered to 706/707. Last year, the company was then approaced by Durham County Council and were asked to operate a scholars service for Tanfield School. It was numbered 708 and was routed to start at Stanley then the 706 route but go through Dipton and Flint Hill before rejoining the 706 route back through Stanley to Tanfield School.
The current service pattern is that the bus will do a 706 and when it gets back to Stanley it will do a 707 then a 706 and so on with the am and pm 708s. If Go North East do add it to the Venture brand, they will still have 1 spare vehicle which would logically be enough based on the amount of times a venture solo has appeared on another service but the rarity that another veichle has appeared on the Ventures.
Here is the link for the timetable:

Maybe one of the NEXUS solo SR's from Deptford will go there... of course it depends on what changes happen within the Sunderland area.
