Have announced some changes to some Gold Coast Bus Services which pass through barnes. they don’t affect us much, but the bugle thought they might prove of interest to someone out there. changes to local Gold Coast Bus Services – will they have youbeaming?*. the laser (or the number 35 in old money) currently runs from south shields to sunderland then on into barnes, past the hospital and the park, before heading up silksworth lane and ending up in either houghton or low moorsley. the evening services run on to south hetton, and on sundays some journeys end up in peterlee (though you have to admit, if you were heading from shields to peterlee, it’s not how you’d drive it!). from 29th may, this will change, and weekday services will all end up at the rainton bridge business park . i guess that’s good news for people in barnes who might work there or consider a job there. evening services will continue to serve south hetton, but due to durham county council cuts, the sunday services to peterlee will stop..
