(29 Oct 2014, 7:47 pm)Cock Robin Very interesting. So the map confirms the branding is all wrong. Wonder if they'll change it before the launch. 36/37/38 look to be unaltered, except chopped off at M'bro. Park End reduced from 3 an hour to 2 an hour evenings.Apparently the branding only confirms the "links to certain places" but everyone who reads it would suspect them to be the "new routes" The 38 has changed from Norton Roundabout straight into the Glebe just like the old 38A from years gone by. As for ParkEnd there used to be only 2 an hour previously and that seemed to work. I suspect the facts and figures have been poured over and adjusted to suit most peoples travelling plans. You can't please all of the people all of the time me thinks.
Wonder if the 10A/11A mentioned replaces the 610/611? Looks like it.
And no mention of the 58A. So looks like it continues as an early morning only service. Suspected it may be running all day to compete with the A66!

(30 Oct 2014, 11:21 pm)beefcake Can't really say I'd be shocked to see the Sunday-Thursday evening 6 withdrawn. Every time I've seen one, and on the few occasions I myself used it, the loadings have being absolutely pitiful. I've not seen more than 6 passengers use it at any one time

Arriva's onboard notices appear to be changing to reflect this too. Good move.Arriva have not permitted e-cigarettes for a while now, probably because people were smoking e-cigarettes and other smokers were lighting up on their buses. Although this doesn't stop people from smoking them, I had one blowing smoke in my face on Arriva service 8 the other week.

Connect Tees Valley staff are council staff, they're one and the same. They produce the timetables on behalf of the councils. Obviously they don't have enough staff following council cuts to get round everywhere (I think there is only 2 people left?) - a stop over the road from me still has an old green timetable from 2013
