Likewise. In general, I'd like to see more of a Go North East presence in Durham - I couldn't give two monkeys about where the bus came from, or even which bus was providing the service, but I'm always interested in seeing new services which aren't in direct competition with another in the area.
I think we're long overdue a new service, which actually seems innovative and creative. Appreciate operators probably don't want to take the risk and possibly get their fingers burnt, but would be nice to see.
I'm still a huge advocate of the Durham - Middlesbrough service suggestion. Would also like to see a Hartlepool - Middlesbrough service (if it could differ from SNE's service 1), and similar services to allow easier travel arrangements which don't necessarily go against the 'hub' model.
