It's on the A692, and looks to be roughly 8 miles from Chester Le Street station.
Go on the A693 through Stanley. |

Trains from York to Chester Le Street start at about 6.30 am, they are usually every 2 hours but increase at Peak times to Every Hour?,
Chester Le Street is on the Mainline, so can be accessed from 7.30 am to about 10.30 pm |

Thanks sid', but I appear to have the destination wrong.
Funeral is on the outskirts of Dipton, about 10 miles from Durham, then it's on to the golf club, and then my sister's at Stocksfield in Northumberland. So I'm getting a train to Durham from Leeds, and a taxi to the crematorium. Looks like I'll get a train back from Newcastle after a taxi there from Stocksfield. Won't have much change from £200 |

14 May 15 00:15 Address: Ewehurst Road Dipton Stanley DH9 9JP Tel - 03000 269 714 ^^^ That's the address of the Mountsett Crematorium. On satellite view it's not in Ewehurst Road, it's on the main road, the A692. Only a hundred yards difference though. New price includes collection from your home, then to funeral, golf club and a visit to your sister, then back home the same day. Not £1200 Not £1100 Not even a grand Not even £900 It's bargain week.  No tips required, I'll feed myself at a steak house, AND you get the choice of CDs to play in the car for the journey, and it takes 6 at a time. You can even have hip-hop, and I'll wear ear plugs. All in, a dirt cheap once only offer of £775. I'll even pay my own speeding tickets (should I get any) can't be fairer than that. |

chester le street has a station, not all trains stop there
the station has a ticket office and is found under chester - le - track the staff are always most helpful and you can phone them on 0191 387 1387 buses run from chester le street , and are about 5 minutes walk from the station |
|
By:
Stocksfield has a station as well.
Northern Rail run trains into Newcastle every hour. It only takes 30 minutes and costs about £6. Probably quicker than a taxi into the city centre. |

If you're travelling on your own, get a train as far as Darlington then take buses from there.
. http://www.networkonetickets.co.uk/tickets/explorer-tickets Just £9.70 all day in the area you are looking at. You'll have BPSA afterwards ( bus passenger sore arse ) but you might anyway if stocksfield is as dodgy as morpeth says. |
