Exactly the point of what? The 81 enjoyed an evening service for sometime, it's the section of the route between Guisborough and Stokesley that is being cut.

Again I would reiterate that for those wanting to be at Roseberry Topping et al this is where Tees Flex should come into play. For those few wishing to travel off Guisborough into Great Ayton/Stokesley then the connection option from service 5/5a onto service 28a at Swan's Corner isn't as bad as might be feared.
