The X66 is currently limited stop down North Road, only observing the following stops:

Odeon Cinema
North Road Morrisons
Brougham Street
Thompson Street Post Office
Harrowgate Hill Roundabout
then all stops between Harrowgate Hill Elmcroft and Great Burdon.

So no changes to the stops on this section then.

Maybe it just feels like it stops everywhere lol! Not changing no they look correct.
Looks like Darlington will still be sending a bus light to Middlesbrough on a morning.

Well it's a case of stop at one stop then skip the next one all the way down North Road.

Improvement with a later departure from Darlington back to Teesside. However, the last bus in the opposite direction is now 1925 - presently 1942. Also of note is no journeys there extended from Darlington Town Centre to Faverdale Depot.

EDIT: Leaflets about the improvements are now available in the Middlesbrough Travel Office as well. See below for the map (only shows the Monday-Saturday daytime routes - evening/Sunday X66s additionally run via Hartburn)

They seemingly scrapped a load of journeys after 5pm from Middlesbrough, there's one at 1732 then there's only one at 1825 and the last one at 1925 when at present it's roughly every 20 minutes until around 1820 then half hourly until the last journey at 1942 so they're cutting a fair few journeys after 5pm.

Bloody hell. Some 'improvement'! Who said there was going to be later buses in both directions?!
The last journey from each end is around half 8 in the new timetable, so yes, it's an improvement. Not sure where 1925 has come from.

Darlington will operate the 2025 from Middlesbrough and Stockton will operate the 2030 from Darlington.

The timetable that was uploaded yesterday said that the last journey from Middlesbrough Bus Station is at 1925, notably the timetable now seems to have disappeared. I've just looked on the plan journey page and it is also saying the last X66 from Middlesbrough Bus Station is at 1925. Not sure what the deal is here then.

Thats strange, however they do seem to be having problems with the website this week.

We might need to wait until the leaflet is out for clarification, but I was told half past 8 was the final departure from each end from October.

Oh yes having looked at the timetable again they do indeed!
Probably worth mentioning that the times on a Saturday evening are the same, and Sunday's stay the same also, albeit with a few mins extra running time to account for the diversion via Hartburn

Live map update now includes this plus some X66/X67 (however, it still shows the last Middlesbrough departure on the X66 as 1925 - does confirm the 1855 X66 extends to Faverdale). EDIT: only the stop detail for Stockton High Street South doesn't show the 2025 departure at present - this too extends to Faverdale Depot, arrives in Darlington at 2110 Northgate, 2112 Tubwell Row)

The route of the S1 is according to the App:
Stockton High Street, Bridge Road, Yale Crescent, Chapel Street, Station Street, Princeton Drive, The Viaduct, Teesside Park Drive
Return via Teesside Park Drive, Newmarket Avenue, Sandown Way, Teesside Park Drive, The Viaduct, Princeton Drive, Havard Avenue, University Boulevard, Council of Europe Boulevard, Riverside, Church Road, High Street
New X12 timetables now available in the Middlesbrough Travel Office.
