The 43 appears to be the only bus serving this area, along with the few settlements it serves en route, so we head back to the built up area on the 0852 departure to Durham (County Hospital/Sutton Street), arriving there at 0917 on Thursday morning.

Entering the railway station, we then board the 1550 TransPennine Express service 1F81 to Stalybridge, arriving there at 1749 on Thursday afternoon, pending we haven't been crushed as this service is extremely busy upon departure from Leeds (think this is sometimes even a 6-185).
