Does an Arriva service go to Teesside Airport?

A family member needs to get there and won't have a car.

Following a search on Arriva's site and Goggle this is what I found (I don't know this area so I not sure if this info will be correct), the closet you can get to the airport is on Arriva service 12 which stops at Durham Tees Valley Airport Fire Training Centre which according to Goggle Maps is 7 minutes walk away. Don't get the 12A as that goes to Middleton-St-George.

Might tell them to get the 12 then.

(21 Sep 2014, 7:45 pm)tyresmoke wrote Don't, the short answer is there is no bus to the Airport any more. It is a hell of a long walk (about 2 miles) from where the 12 stops (as the car park/terminal building is all fenced off)

(21 Sep 2014, 9:25 pm)MrPottski wrote The 12 is the closest they'll get. I cannot understand why it only serves the FTC and not the terminal though, seems ludicrous to me. Obviously it wasn't always like that as if you look at Google Maps, you can see an Arriva bus next to the terminal, as well as one at the fire training centre.

(21 Sep 2014, 10:05 pm)Robert wrote Durham Tees Valley doesnt have that many planes going in and out of the airport, probably why the rail and bus links are non existant now. However, it would still make sense to provide some sort of link to the terminal building but then again, how many people would use it?

(22 Sep 2014, 6:59 am)MrPottski wrote Can't believe they'd transfer any Scanias, with the reliability problems they've been having lately, there's barely enough available for the X66's.

I do hope DiagTest received permission from the company to upload photographs of a fire-damaged vehicle, but nevertheless... 4519 is currently undergoing repairs after having suffered an engine bay fire.
