Note on the Sunderland Boxing day services... the E1/E2 are not yet included... contract could still be out for tender though.

(24 Nov 2021, 8:55 pm)Michael wrote The ones listed so far are Stagecoach running the services themselves.

(24 Nov 2021, 8:14 pm)ifm001 wrote Usually just the E2 and E6 on Boxing Day.  . Also Shields 10/11 not mentioned either which normally runs but again that may still be out to tender.

(29 Nov 2021, 5:45 pm)V514DFT wrote More of a question really,but anyone know why the 39/40 buses have been creeping onto other routes lately,seems rather odd,but then the ones missing off the 39/40 have ones in their place that should be on those other routes
E.g
Classic 400 was on the 39, E400MMC on the 22

(24 Dec 2021, 6:56 pm)Dan wrote This will be running with funding - a tender came out earlier this year to support a new route for Teesport.

Andreos might take back his initial compliment knowing that it isn’t a commercial venture from the operator!

Not sure why I would need to take back my initial complement about a bus service operating between a major source of employment and various housing estates where those employees work

(24 Dec 2021, 8:48 pm)tyresmoke wrote I’m intrigued to see how well this will do, quite surprised they’re missing some bits especially round North Ormesby that I thought were worth serving.
Will it still be here in a years time?
I hope it proves successful but I’m not sure it’ll become commercially viable. Let’s hope it’s reliable for a start…

(24 Dec 2021, 9:15 pm)tyresmoke wrote We tendered for it… Stagecoach won it though. I just hope their staff shortages don’t hinder any attempt at it being successful. Hopefully it’ll be promoted well - it should attract staff from Asda & Tesco in theory, but the majority of them do of course already have other ways of getting to work. We’ll see - interestingly it will be the only local bus service to run on Christmas Day & Boxing Day in Teesside, next year.

People who work there already have their travel plans in place.

Unless business in the port have a heroic turnover of staff, it will be a waste of time, even in 12 months time.

I'm sure TeesFlex will be involved eventually (if this isn't already planned to be TeesFlex vehicle operated of course!)
