Alternative bus services
Information about 'on demand' community bus services in County Durham. These services are available when ordinary transport isn't an option because there's no regular service or someone has problems using a regular bus.

The Link2 Dial-a-Ride bus is now available to book for all journeys including shopping, work, training, health appointments or anywhere else you want to go. From Monday 19 July 2021, Government advice changed to make it a personal choice to wear a face covering. Whilst face coverings are no longer mandatory on the Link2 bus service, passengers are requested to continue wearing one to protect themselves and others around them.
Contact us to book any of these services.
