19680 is presently heading into Middlesbrough on a 36 - and unless swapped will work the last trip from Hartlepool to Stockton this evening
19681 has down a round trip on the 39 and gone back to the depot - wouldn’t be surprised to see it back out later with the Derby at the Riverside today

Also Arriva do have services that serve the Middleheaven which are MC1/MC2/MC3/MC4/MC5 & MC6 but they are college bus routes. It would be a great idea for a route to serve the riverside but it's the money to do that.

It’s actually very easy to do as it wouldn’t exactly add much time if they sent the X3 X4 there.
