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.

They ran one from Yarm & Stockton last year.
Additionally Stockton also operate two routes to Sedgefield School

(09 Sep 2022, 7:01 am)Lollist wrote I don't get why they don't run these deckers on the school run on the 35?

(08 Sep 2022, 10:40 am)tcts24 wrote 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).

(09 Sep 2022, 9:23 am)Benny wrote Because for the rest of the day the 35 would probably cope using Optare Solos?

(09 Sep 2022, 5:18 pm)Lollist wrote 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

(09 Sep 2022, 5:38 pm)toward6931 wrote to 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.

(09 Sep 2022, 7:46 pm)Lollist wrote 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

(10 Sep 2022, 7:47 am)tyresmoke wrote That’s been like that for many years, even when I used to drive them 10 years ago. Could do with a duplicate but who’s going to pay for the extra bus & driver required? Stagecoach won’t so it won’t happen. There are equal problems where other services hit schools at finish time, the 12, 36, 52, 59, 61 all have similar issues.

(12 Sep 2022, 9:36 am)tcts24 wrote Really? I'd never noticed until last week. I saw a "7 Hartlepool Town Centre" and used that in the past and don't remember an option of where I'm coming from. But then it's only been the past month I've been doing those runs multiple times per day.

(13 Sep 2022, 9:47 am)tcts24 wrote It's the destination choices I'm getting at, not the route. Before last week I sure I only had one "7 Hartlepool Town Centre" to use rather than the choice of "from Owton Manor" and "from Clavering" that we have now.

(13 Sep 2022, 12:21 pm)Economic505 wrote Definitely not a recent change. The ‘7’ is my local route and in Hartlepool.
