As well as the short-lived Coatham 18 for a period. 

Ultimately, the lack of joined up thinking has seen the network develop in to what it was prior to 2020 and subsequently, the current 'network'. 

If ANE had been pro-active, neither Teesflex or SNE would need to offer a service in the area. 
As it is, Mr Mayor has decided to go all guns blazing and now we have the situation where all 3 can be following each other around, with a a 1 and a Teesflex sandwiched between a 5 and an X4. 
I'm all for improving bus services, but does Carlin How or Loftus really need that level of service?

On a personal level, I wanted the 18 to work. 
However, it didn't run when I needed it and it inevitably led to me using a Teesflex instead.
