For the past 3 days 63 branded pulsars have been allocated onto the 62 ? Seems to be at least 2 on there each day</p><p><br></p><p>Any reason why&nbsp;</p>

</p><p>I'm sure Arriva would put the safety of everybody on the bus before revenue. Arriva could introduce a Day Ticket between Redcar and Middlesbrough for both Train &amp; Bus, that way bus services alike the 64A can see their last journeys withdrawn, it is simply unaffordable in any form to continue running buses when the windows are smashed on a frequent basis. Additionally on top of this it must clearly be causing anxiety &amp; stress for drivers &amp; passengers who are being made victims of this through no fault of their own...</p><p>
