Durham County Council has secured more than £8 million in funding through the Bus Service Improvement Plan, supported by the North East Combined Authority and North East mayor Kim McGuinness.


The funding will deliver a range of infrastructure upgrades across the county, including new bus shelters, improved signage and enhanced accessibility at stops.


Most recently, in Durham City, £1 million will be used to upgrade bus stands near North Road, while £1.8 million will fund 446 new bus stop signs, the replacement of 90 bus shelters and improved kerbs at 50 shelters.
