I'm not sure how busy it usually gets... I'm sure some of our Teesside members will know.

There's the 36 as well. Part of that route is getting support with cycle lanes if I remember right.
Plus they're competing with the train.

Wouldn't have thought there was that much demand. Even if they were pump priming it to be honest.

The only advantage the 1 has over the 36 (that I can see) is that it goes near so many key employment sites.
For all the things thrown his way, I'll give Houchen some credit in that there's been improvements to services to the likes of Teesport under his watch. Maybe he sees the 1 in a similar light.
