A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
We next board the 1638 Go North East service 78 to Chester-le-Street that arrives there at 1738 on Friday.

Posting struck-through as unable to fully complete the arrival destination....having certain medical problems which I would rather not discuss on this website.

With us not being within the overnight relaxation time period, we have no choice but to continue despite not many other services available. Thankfully one more service exists, as we next board the 2344 Stagecoach North East service X78 to Darras Hall (Middle Drive/Sycamore Avenue), arriving there at 2351 on Friday.

As an aside, if we arrived at 2245, and there is no available bus before the overnight ruling kicks in at 2300, can we not apply the overnight ruling? That's how I've always interpreted it - i.e. you can stop moving at 2300. Not to worry for now, though...

That now is it for the night, so we return in the morning, at which point our only realistic option is Stagecoach North East's X77. We depart at 0644, and alight at Newcastle upon Tyne, Eldon Square Bus Station at 0717 on Saturday.

Yes, we can if no other options are available. However, in this instance, there was, albeit only one and to about six or seven stops further up along the route.

We next board the 0725 Go North East Red Kite Ranger service 47 to High Spen (Clayton Terrace Road/Townley Terrace), arriving there at 0805 on Saturday.
