Stanley Travel – Burnopfield Students

The 801 Bus Service is provided in partnership with Durham County Council and Stanley Travel for students travelling from Dipton, Flinthill, Crookgate, Hobson and Burnopfield to Whickham School. The service operates in the morning and after school. The 801 Timetable can be viewed on the link below.

  • The 801 connects to the 713 service from Stanley and Tanfield
  • 801 Weekly tickets will be available to purchase on the 713 and weekly tickets bought via the My Trip app will be accepted on the 713 connecting services*
  • Prices: Single = £2.20,  Return = £3.30 and Weekly = £13.50

*Please note that whilst the morning connection is guaranteed, the evening connection is not – if traffic causes the 801 to be delayed students will have to wait for the next 713 service.
