Stockton & Darlington zone covers a vast area and allows both town centres, rail stations and Teesside Park as a destination. North Tees and Airport currently out of bounds so assume this needs fixing? Redcar and Cleveland zone similarly useful and a generous drop-off zone in Redcar. App theoretically allowed me to book a journey between Redcar and Guisborough which I thought wouldn’t be allowed. Hartlepool zone is very restrictive and most of the rural area covered has no population. Can’t help but think a single minibus an a timetabled circuit of Elwick, Dalton Piercy and Hartlepool would be more worthwhile. Interesting that Tees Flex can be used to travel from Hart to the Hospital and town centre, which is already covered by Arriva in the 57, yet the zoning is very careful not to tread on the toes of any existing Stagecoach service.
Disappointed with the R&C zoning system and seeing places like New Marske, Marske, Saltburn and Upleatham not included in the zones. Yet Redcar, Guisborough, Skelton are - despite having decent levels of ANE services currently.
Looking further in to this. https://www.stagecoachbus.com/media-libr....jpg?la=en states you can get a bus from the zone, to a destination beyond the zone. Skelton to Saltburn Station as an example.
However, the app doesn't let allow the booking to be made.
