The long slog
April 2011 saw Arriva North East Dart SLF 1617 S617 KHN climbing Dean and Chapter Bank into Ferryhill in County Durham.
The 7 is the southern half of the former iconic 723 service between Durham and Darlington. The former fleet of Routemasters, Lodekkas, Metrobuses, VRs and Olympians of Northern and United are now long gone, and at that time had Dart SLFs operating though on a 15 minute frequency.
It was subsequently given Sapphire status, even gaining some deckers on busier runs.
