Not very happy with Leven Valley today:

Wanted to go to Teesside Park this afternoon so I waited for the 1318 A66 to Teesside Park from Stockton. First Leven Valley bus we saw was the H66 to Hartburn which some passengers flagged down as they thought it was going to Teesside Park. Then 10 minutes later I thought it was coming, nope it was the 84. Then at the 20 minute mark we saw a Vairo coming down the road which I knew was the Stagecarrige 87 but others thought it might be the A66. 2 minutes later I decided enough was enough and jumped on the X66 to Middlesbrough. Whilst on the X66 I saw the A66 heading for the Transporter.

On my previous trip the H66 to Teesside Park turned up nearly 10 minutes late and the MPD I had on my return to Stockton broke down everytime it stopped and when we got to the Uni an alarm started going and then we stopped across the road from Burger King and the driver got out the cab and lifted the bonnet up and got on the phone, I decided to continue my journey on foot while everyone else stayed on, the driver then drove to the bottom of the High Street and booted everyone off.

The time before that on the R66 I had that Solo with the odd LED screen with paper destinations in the window and it was one of the worst Solos I've ever been on and the back of one of the seats was covered in gaffer tape and the stopping light barely worked and no one could hear the bell.

So any future trips to Teesside Park will be made by car as I'm not using this shambles of a service again.
