Current 36A axed as there seems no point to it new 36A as well as a X36 been brought back. All service 36 and 36A will Terminate at Middlesbrough Bus Station so it will be as follows. 36 every 30 mins Current route between Hartlepool Marina to Middlesbrough Bus Station. 36A current 36 route to Marsh House Ave then Low Grange- Billingham Centre- Norton-North Tees Hospital-Stocton then non stop to Middlesbrough X36 Hart Station-Raby Road-Hartlepool Centre- Stockton Road-Wolviston-A19-Middlesbrough-Park End-James cook Hospital
And all that does is makes the capacity issues between Norton and Middlesbrough on 36/37/38 worse as there's 2 less journeys along that corridor. Plus, by sending 2 36s via North Tees Hospital, you basically kill off the 37.
