A little bit of clarity from someone who lives in East Cleveland. Simon Clarke is our local mp but he does not control the buses - yes he is looking at the future election. The money comes from TVCA - and that election is coming soon too. The alterations to the service come in April. The route will now take in Skelton High Street and New Skelton - but NOT North Skelton. There is no map yet so i can't work out why as New and North as very close. The biggest change is that the service will go through Loftus to Easington and use the turning circle used by Arriva's 5. The route will NOT go through Brotton either which seems daft - that would only be a slight detour.
