I don't blame the operators for trying to make do of a bad situation, but the fact the council have not thought about public transport operations at all here. It's an absolute disgrace that they haven't consulted with Go North East yet, despite them (along with Stagecoach) being a major stakeholder here.
Its the same in Middlesbrough and Stockton. The Councils shut off major bus routes at the drop of a hat for any excuse.
