It's one thing linking Middlesbrough, by bus, with Newcastle, Durham, Darlington, Hartlepool and Sunderland but entirely another linking Boro with Leeds, Harrogate, York and Hull. A train-service between Middlesbrough, Leeds and York already exists and it would be much quicker to use York as a hub if one needed to travel to either Hull or Harrogate.

When I used the Megabus from Newcastle to Leeds, there was at least 30 Passengers got on in Middlesbrough, with around 15-20 Including myself getting off in Leeds.

To be Honest I wouldn't have it Hourly or Half Hourly as that would be Daft and nobody would use the Service, Perhaps 2 Morning Journey's and 2 Evening Journeys each way would suffice.

And if Journey Times were Positioned before Megabus and National Express Journeys, with Reasonable Fare Pricing then I think Transdev for example could be Quids In.

There is also the Questionable Argument as to whether Middlesbrough is Part of the North East, or in Fact part of Yorkshire, for me i'd say it's Borderline, much like Berwick.
