imo they need to get some buses which are actually appropriate for the route. Streetlite's aren't designed for long distance hill routes - it's no wonder that they're struggling.

The Volvo B8's which they have in Wales and Liverpool would be a good choice imo and actually have some power behind them. It's shocking how neglected Teesside is with Arriva investment wise, it'll be 10 year for a new bus next year.

The fact the 63 a flagship route is limping around with the horrid Temsa's is poor aswell.
