It's a Durham County Council supported bus service should it *should* at least accept them but not issue them but I can't confirm if they do or not

I'm honestly surprised it lasted that long, I wonder how much it was costing them for that 3 minute journey

As it was such a short run probably not too much luckily besides driving hours.

Think the Bishop one only came about as I think it was a condition of their relocation from what is now the Wilko store in the Newgate Shopping Centre to their current premises.

Website is now showing 104 as being ran by Rural Link for some reason

L&B is owned by the same person that owns Rural Link, isn't it?

One of the Directors is common to both companies, owns more than 75% of Rural Link and c50% of L & B.
And it's the same Transport Manager for both companies.

Yeah they own 100% of Rural Link, all shares were transferred earlier in the year
