New coach drop-off provision enhances Durham City’s group travel experience

Durham City’s group travel offer is now even better thanks to the introduction of a new coach drop-off and pick-up point.

From this month, coach parties visiting the historic city will alight on the other side of the River Wear on Framwelgate Waterside instead of the former drop off point at Freeman’s Place.

Durham County Council has carried out the work and its tourism service, Visit County Durham, is now promoting the new location to coach operators, highlighting the vastly improved arrival experience it affords both visitors and drivers.

The brainchild of Diane Louise Jordan, MOBB  is a mass collection of stories from all over the United Kingdom exploring what it means to be British; a uniquely British story about nationality, citizenship, identity and belonging, with the ambition of being the UK’s biggest ever audio and digital gathering exercise. At the heart of MOBB’s mission is the creation of an oral history archive, which documents the transformation of mainland Britain (or the British metropole) from the start of mass migration from Commonwealth nations post war. It takes the British Nationality Act of 1948 as its anchor point, which recognised Commonwealth subjects as British citizens and recognised their right to work and reside in the UK on an equal status to other British residents.
