Update from Durham Cricket ground at 10.55.
Lots of Yellow Buses on the 500 and 501 and I noticed one Northern Trident but did not wait long enough to see the full allocation for today. Loadings on the 500 and 501 are very good. The 500 and 501 are both coming in from direction of Lumley Castle and as they are coming in rather fast the roundabout into the cricket ground is not good for photos due to speed of the buses. I would suggest going to the bus stopping point near the coach park for photos.
The 502 has been allocated MPD No 571 (as advised by NK55). Lots of people got off the 08.55 train but no one boarded the 502 bus so the 09.00 run did not take place. The 09.30 ran with about 5 OAP customers and the 10.00 was about half full.

Normal services on the 71 and 78 are running to time but traffic is now backing up on Ropery Lane so expect delays on the afternoon runs.
If you know of any coach drivers coming to the Cricket Ground please let them know that the VOSA Enforcement van is on site.
