Reckon Durham will be best avoided in the summer if it can be helped.
It will be interesting to see if operators will make revisions to services, to combat delays.

Durham County Council have now changed the style of timetables at non major stops to the style where it lists services separately that they have been using at major stops (eg. Aycliffe Town Centre and Durham Bus Station) for a few years now.

(21 Aug 2015, 9:47 pm)aureolin "MOTORISTS who have endured weeks of traffic troubles due to a £1 million bridge repair project are facing further roadworks woe, it has emerged."
What a load of tosh that statement is. The traffic flow in and out of Durham has been absolutely fine from start to finish, and the works are well ahead of schedule.

(21 Aug 2015, 9:58 pm)Jimmi Try getting into Durham from Gilesgate, at least 20 minutes to get from Gilesgate Sainsburys to Durham Bus Station on most journeys I've done on the services that run along that way since the roadworks started so I disagree. I am not getting another 20/20A, 22/24, 208 or 265 into Durham until the roadworks end as the traffic is horrendous in this area at the moment.

(21 Aug 2015, 10:01 pm)aureolin I come in every morning via Elvet Bridge and the Leazers Bowl roundabout. Most buses are getting in 5 minutes early. I've plenty of colleagues that do the full run from Belmont/Gilesgate area, and they also reckon that it's a lot quieter than normal days.It will be quieter on a morning at the moment as the schools are off and some people are on holiday so there will less cars and no school buses/coaches running through Durham on a morning. I can't say anything about mornings as I haven't been over that way at rush hour on a morning but the traffic is definitely worse from Gilesgate during the daytime and I have seen the 22/24 often Arrive anything up to 15 minutes late (sometimes more) and the 20/20A have often arrived in Durham Bus Station within seconds of each other at times.
The only exception seems to be the day after they change the works layout over the bridge. For example they now have a lane either side, and it was a bit daft on Monday because of it.

http://www.durham.gov.uk/media/6878/Gile...t_plan.pdf
http://www.durham.gov.uk/media/6879/Leaz...t_plan.pdf
It is now proposed to commence on Gilesgate roundabout in early 2016 and Leazes Bowl in Summer 2016, to coordinate with required traffic surveys in Autumn 2015. Once completed we hope to start using the SCOOT system in 2017.

(21 Aug 2015, 10:18 pm)aureolin The 22/24 are always late. One of my mates lives up Thornley way, and he's forever on at Arriva about reliability. We've discussed their inability to regulate services for yonks now though, haven't we?

Completely forgot to mention this the other day - but members of staff from DCC have been in Peterlee bus station, conducting surveys on smoking/smoking in the bus station.
There were at least two members of staff asking questions about how regularly you use the station, whether smokers flout bans and are seen to be smoking in the station and if anything could be done to improve things with regard to maintaining the ban.
