What's replacing the Guisborough to Stokesley section?

Nothing
Service 81 - scanialover - 09 Feb 2020
So what is going to happen to Arriva 81 services between Guisborough and Stokesley? Sure there is some demand.
RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - February 2020 - scanialover - 09 Feb 2020
Why? Surely there is some demand.
RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - February 2020 - RobinHood - 10 Feb 2020
(09 Feb 2020, 7:35 pm)scanialover Why? Surely there is some demand.Obviously not enough.
The 28A will still run through Great Ayton and Stokesley. Only Newton under Rosebery will completely lose service.

Whenever I've seen the 81 in this section, it's absolutely dead. Not surprisingly it's coming off.

Just been talking about it on BBC Tees

Just been talking about it on BBC Tees. Arriva reckon the change hasn't been registered yet and they're still on discussion but the council spokesman didn't sound very hopeful.
RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - February 2020 - scanialover - 10 Feb 2020
The rational behind a decision, apart from the fact that Arriva are only interested in the financial aspect, beats me. Those wishing to travel from Guisborough through to Stokesley will have to travel into Middlesbrough will the corresponding increases in both travelling time and cost. I guess, at the end of the day passenger numbers dictate?

Of which there are very few - hence why it's being culled.
The cut also reduces the 81 PVR by one vehicle (understand the proposal is for the daytime journeys to operate a one-way loop round Hunters Hill, with the peak time journeys carrying on as now to Hutton Gate). From what I've heard round and about, Redcar's PVR is set to drop by 5 in April.
RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - February 2020 - scanialover - 10 Feb 2020
Thanks for that. Interesting that the PVR @ Redcar is to be reduced but then surely it's time to examine the demand on services 63 and 64/64a. How many times do we see these running in tandem? OK it's.difficult to operate a sustainable timetable to meet demand but surely something needs to be done.
What is service X94 that I've seen mentioned?

How many times do we see these running in tandem? OK it's.difficult to operate a sustainable timetable to meet demand but surely something needs to be done.I'm pretty sure the 63 wouldn't be every 10 minutes if demand didn't exist for it. Don't forget, the operators have all of the data available at their fingertips to make this decision on.

I understand that Service 64/64A will also see a reduced frequency from April.

As long as bus companies are private, they will only be interested in the financial side of things, they are a business. No business would last very long if they made long term losses.

2 VDLS on 685 this afternoon passing in Brampton - one doing the afternoon double decker roundtrip no doubt due to the high winds.
