As of Saturday 4th January 2014 the 116 Town Service will be withdrawn.
This also means that there will only be a morning bus to School Aycliffe from Newton Aycliffe and an afternoon bus back offered by the Scarlet Band 16A.  Residents may want to use the Link 2 service offered by County Durham County Council.
As of the 5th of January 2014 Arriva new fares apply including a 20p increase on the Adult Day Ticket plus 50p on the weekly ticket.
