We arrived at Victoria Coach station to find out booking did not exist and there were no coaches to Durham so we were stressed. We were transferred to a coach going as near as poss but couldn’t relax wondering how we could get home but the driver did sort transport for us in the end.

It was good however in a long journey from London to Durham (7hrs), there should be 10-15 mins food break. Bus didn’t stop throughout journey.
