Perhaps they'll wait for people to get cars instead, then complain about extra cars on the road causing congestion.
Someone needs to get the ball rolling and quickly. Particularly with this whole freeport thing and the supposed boost to the already high levels of employment there.
It seems crazy we have operators saying theyre struggling and passenger numbers aren't reaching pre-pandemic levels and on the other hand, huge employers like Teesport don't have any public transport provision, never mind provision at times to suit shift-patterns.
Kudos to GNE and Amazon in this case. I just hope it was the start of a total change in thinking by operators and not an exception to the rules.
