I think the 23 has always gone in the places the 26 hasn't. Basically filled in the gaps where there wasn't a service.
The 721 and 727 were canny too.
The 721, did Chester to Newcastle via Barley Mow (reverse of 26) and then the 777 route to Newcastle via Wrekenton.
The OK 727 chased the 721 up Old Durham Road and Lansbury Drive and then did the same route as the 26 through Barley Mow.
