ARRIVA has said that it will use new funding from Durham County Council to improve the Bishop Auckland to Durham bus service. Why? This service is the only decent service provided in this area.
The one that needs improving is the No 8 Spennymoor to Darlington run. This service is rarely on time – that’s when it turns up at all. I waited 35 minutes once again on Saturday before giving up and catching a reliable, small local bus.
