Just says revised timetable for all three. Would imagine it’ll only be minor tweaks

If services 1, 2/2A in Darlington & 28/28A in Middlesbrough are changing on 7th December then Arriva would of put it on their Facebook page but the thing is Arriva puts all of their service changes up to take place on a Sunday not on a Thursday which the 7th December is a Thursday

Seriously? Interesting. Temporary? Peak time only?

I wonder if this will be a workers bus or something ?. Interesting new service.

All day, every day at a regular frequency.

Where did you find this info? 7 days a week? 

Surprised there is demand for it with the Metro (connect at Regent Centre for Morpeth).

Supported by subsidies? Yes.

Suggests this is a Northumberland BSIP service (i.e not a commercial venture).

I'm aware it's supported by subsidies and not a commercial venture. Already knew that. Just don't see the point of the service.

You may not, but evidently the council do? 

This creates many direct links that didn't exist previously, and may even supply a new service to some places depending on the route it takes. 

The one thing I'd like to have seen would be an extension to Great Park from Kingston Park at that end.
The Airport have been pushing hard for better links as part of their growth plans (linked to employment) - I wonder if this one of the reasons BSIP are supporting it
