The tender spec required an hourly service to Wolviston village and all Wynyard estates with a service to Billingham and then one of Stockton or Middlesbrough.
I understand this will run to Stockton for the daytime portion. I’m going to assume the other service is going to be a direct bus to Middlesbrough at shift times - mostly Amazon, but GXO & other businesses were also named.
Journeys to Hartlepool were also required outside of times the 36 operated so this is why the 36a will presumably cover this part of it. Wouldn’t be at all surprised to see some 36’s diverted in outside of these times too, to give capacity for Amazon staff at least.
As for the 59 the reg says extra journeys at school times, believe it will be a duplicate/extra for Macmillan Academy and funded from another service being cut to provide the bus. That may have changed and maybe it’ll come from the RP1 instead?
