Would love to see a 36s Saturday and Sunday service connecting the route hourly to Teesside Park, go via Thornaby rail station rather than Tees Barrage so it's not stepping too much on Arrivas toes (Teesside Park seems fair game since Tees Flex and Arriva go there regular). and it be decker operated maybe.

(07 Sep 2022, 11:56 am)Kuyoyo Unless there is an error in Bus Times, it appears there are 4 UTC routes being operated by Stagecoach this yearWhat is the point in this UTC? These routes could actually be really good if they were actual routes for Public service.
The previous route between Eaglescliffe and UTC remains but is now joined by a second route from Eaglescliffe, which starts further down towards Yarm at Butts Lane (the original route starts at the Golf Club) and shares the same route as far as Ropner Park when the new service runs via Hartburn Village, Green Lane, Farifield Road, Rimswell Road, Darlington Back Lane, Harrowgate Lane, Durham Road, A1027, Wolviston Road, A689, Wynyard Service Station, A689 Coal Lane, A689 Hartlepool Road, The Wynd, Wynyard Woods, The Wynd, A689 Hartlepool Road and A689 Sedgefield Bypass before sharing the same route from Bradbury to UTC as the original via the A1(M).
The third Stockton-operated service runs from Hundens Park to UTC via Hundens Lane, Yarm Road, Neasham Road, Geneva Road, Yarm Road, A66, Neasham Road, Hurworth, Hurworth Road, Croft-on-Tees, Tees View, Croft Road, Carmel Road South, Carmel Road North, Woodland Road, Cockerton Green, Prior Street, West Auckland Road, Coatsay Moor Lane, Heighington, Redworth Road, Heighington Lane and Long Tens Way.

39719 is working from Sunderland today and is on the 23. Not sure if its a loan or transfer though
(08 Sep 2022, 9:04 am)tcts24 Apparently nobody had a decker to spare for Hartlepool so 36093 is the dedicated bus for UTC
Seems there's an error on Bus Times (and also on Stagecoach's website) - there's only one UTC service from Eaglescliffe, the current one. Meaning, Stockton operate 2 - the Eaglescliffe and Darlington trips, yesterday afternoon using 2 MMCs (although they didn't track as UTC) and of course Hartlepool are using 36093 (likely the only vehicle at Hartlepool to have had the screen update to have UTC programmed in - since Hartlepool's fleet still have the September 2020 update loaded in, so still state 'Face Masks Required')

12078 had a coming together with a bus stop on Blackett Street this morning.
(08 Sep 2022, 10:40 am)tcts24 Hartlepool's destinations have been updated at the weekend. I now find myself with an option of using "7 Hartlepool Town Centre" (from Owton Manor) or strangely "7 Hartlepool Town Centre" (from Clavering).It’s been like that since 2018 though.
(09 Sep 2022, 9:23 am)Benny Because for the rest of the day the 35 would probably cope using Optare Solos?Yes ik that bus Double deckers around the country are empty anyway most days but this morning and yesterday was absolutely ridiculous bus driver was getting all angry because imaprentlt we had to "move back" bear in mind we were standing from the back of the bus to the doors at he front of this tiny e300 it was absolutely shocking the bus driver kept shouting got out of his cab just to realise that we couldn't move back. It is getting ridiculous especially with the 50 new year sevens

It is getting ridiculous especially with the 50 new year sevensto be honest after COVID a lot of divisions are actually trying to get bigger vehicles and it does make sense, two or three of the divisions down south (south downs covering parts of HANTS and surrey was one i believe i believe though i could be wrong) has pretty much got rid of or are in the process of trying to most of its mini buses and traded them for midi buses, when i worked at slatyford one of the engineers said unless there's a specific problem with a vehicle the fuel efficiency will only go down with age and the load it is carrying.

I don't know much about these 35 runs but it sounds like there should be a dedicated school bus running on it imo.
Something like the 28S which duplicates the 28 with GNE - https://bustimes.org/services/28s-pelton-birtley
(09 Sep 2022, 7:46 pm)Lollist Yes but the 35 isn't Meant to be a school route the school runs are 7:52 and 15:00 runs from Stockton-Wplviston Court stopping at Northfield School and Sports College . During the day it is quite empty but can get quite full during the day
