Cobblers Hall Roundabout in Newton Aycliffe (Woodham) is currently closed for resurfacing works between 7am and 7pm between July 17th and July 21st, as a result Arriva North East's Sapphire service 7 is unable to serve Woodham and is diverting Burn Lane, Middridge Road between Burnhill Way and Home Farm. Durham County Council is providing a shuttle service for Woodham which is being operated by The Eden and connects to/from Arriva service 7 at the Burnhill Way Roundabout bus stop. Solo S555 FJM was operating this service today.

It's with someone down on Teesside, M&D Travel I think? Think they got The Eden's Primo as well.

New in at the Eden is Optare Solo M710SE - YJ09EZG with another supposedly on the way.

Thanks. Surprised they never took the Eden name off when they sold it. Could well be M&D as they have other Primos for a service in Teesport.

I've shopped in Bishop Tesco before in the past and last time I was there I think I can recall picking up a leaflet that said the Tesco free bus was being withdrawn and passengers were to use Arriva's Sapphire 6 instead - not sure if anyone can confirm whether this is the case or not?

I didn't see it today, although I did see the Asda Free Bus. Also seen The Eden Primo in Middlesbrough today, not sure what they were doing there...
