They could of used the money to give Darlington a bus station.
Anyone have an idea on what changes are made to the 28/28b and 29a?
thanks

Quite a few changes again although most seem to be just timings.
Ridiculous the 63 not going to the bus station. Even if they shut the bus station they could have still done a loop up that end of the High Street.

Be interesting to see what happens with layover and driver changeovers.

I'm led to believe the Arriva Staff Office will be moving to the Clock so driver changeovers will take place there instead (presumably 22/64 will change at Morrisons)
A few additonal things I failed to include in the summary, mainly about 5s:
Skinningrove journeys now operate 2 minutes earlier from the village arriving in Easington at xx07 (of course, at present they arrive at xx39). Journeys now operate via both villages in a round trip (which does mean 2 buses are timed to be in Skinningrove together - towards Easington at xx54 and towards Middlesbrough at xx55).

Correct, the exact location is the old Newboulds, according to the town centre manager

So the next question has to be..... If the bus station closes where are they going to dump, sorry park, a spare vehicle? No chance anywhere near the clock. Even if they did dump one near the clock, sods law would say it would be pointing the wrong way when it was needed [WINKING FACE]

When I asked the question its going to be 'street parked'. There are no plans for a new bus station, although last year the building opposite the euro car park was investigated for use, but the building is listed.
Apparently the 63 isn't even stopping at the Swan! Going to be a lot of complaints.
