Recovery Along the A167
Running parallel to the A1(M) for much of its length, the A167 passes through Darlington, Aycliffe, Durham City, Chester-le-Street and on toward Newcastle, and it's a route we cover regularly as an alternative to the motorway.
The A167 carries a mix of local and through traffic, from town-centre sections in Darlington and Durham to faster, more open stretches further north, so breakdowns here can vary considerably in nature.
