Personally I'm glad there isn't a bus station at Feethams as it isn't really close to the main shops and would make the bus a less convenient option for many people. Also I'm sure many including my myself would prefer the cinema as it would save a trip to Teesside Park. Also they're just about to start building a multi storey car park at Beaumont St/Feethams which although is probably needed, it will undoubtedly be an eyesore.
Also its quite unlikely someone will be killed and given its now nearly 10 years since pedestrianisation was introduced, there has not been anyone seriously injured in that time - pretty much every town centre in the North East has a worse record, so it has done quite well considering its inevitable that there will be some collisions due to people just crossing without looking.
However they do need to move the stops back to how they were with North Road service outside Burger King.
To be honest the screens will benefit more people than a service to Brafferton or another outlying village.

These changes are primiarly to improve puinctuality and come from feedback recieved from our passengers.
Service 7
Service 7 will see a revised timetable, but buses will still operate up to every 10 minutes, Monday to Satuday daytimes.
Service 15
Most Service 15 journeys will be revised to depart from Stand 24 in Stockton High Street around 2 minutes earlier than they currently do now. There are no other changes to route or timetable.
Service 63
Most Service 63 journeys are retimed around Redcar Centre, to improve punctuality.
Service 81/81A
We've made some changes to both the morning and early evening timetable in order to improve punctuality.

(31 Jan 2015, 9:48 pm)tyresmoke wrote An update on this after a conversation with people in the know, the number will remain as X93 across all three parts of the route (splits in Guisborough & Whitby). This comes after confirmation was gained from the authorities over what is and isn't acceptable apparently. I too thought it was a strange time to split it, just after the buses had been fitted with tachographs - but this is why and it makes sense to me. GNE and Stagecoach have got away with it for years of course!
I wonder if we will see any other longer routes renumbered to match on all parts. The 685 would be one that sticks out for me!
(31 Jan 2015, 9:52 pm)citaro5284 wrote Have not got away with it, more like reading the rules and the interpretation of them and what the law actually states.
Is there any other Arriva companies do split registrations?
