(04 Apr 2022, 5:51 pm)Adrian It's not as simplistic as that unfortunately. The North East combined authority is a huge and diverse area to serve, so the devolution deal has to be right in terms of funding. The last deal on the table was only worth £30m a year over 30 years, despite additional responsibilities and without any consideration for things like inflation. NECA would have been responsible to either borrow or find additional funding themselves (including through taxation).
This was knocked back in a devolution referendum in 2004, so the question of who would be the mayor is way down the priorities list, if we're going to put something to residents 18 years later.

As part of the £310m we’ve received from Government to improve public transport, here’s what is being invested in the local bus network
This investment will make bus services more reliable and more frequent

X66/X67 seemingly have been dropped from the original plans?

Mind it's a staggering amount for the Hartlepool - Boro route compared to the rest.

(05 Apr 2022, 12:08 pm)Adrian I think it's only the 1 half-hourly between Hartlepool and Middlesbrough, so I wonder if they're throwing a shed load of money at it to subsidise a higher frequency?
I'm not sure how busy it usually gets... I'm sure some of our Teesside members will know.

(05 Apr 2022, 12:11 pm)Andreos1 There's the 36 as well. Part of that route is getting support with cycle lanes if I remember right.
Plus they're competing with the train.
Wouldn't have thought there was that much demand. Even if they were pump priming it to be honest.
The only advantage the 1 has over the 36 (that I can see) is that it goes near so many key employment sites.
For all the things thrown his way, I'll give Houchen some credit in that there's been improvements to services to the likes of Teesport under his watch. Maybe he sees the 1 in a similar light.

It's 100% the 36 corridor that's getting the improvements.Forgot about that map. But yeah, going off that. It's the 36.
The one that's baffling is:
Rail: British Steel Redcar Station
That station is currently mothballed and is inaccessible as it's literally in the middle of private land. Not sure what they're going to do there bar shutting it properly.

Looks like the 63 in R&C and I've no idea what that is towards East Cleveland Hospital.
I assume the X3A as it terminates in Brotton (it was Skelton Asda, but I'm sure there was some funding to extend it). But the map doesn't show the X3A route.
