Probably deserves it's own thread. Not much to say yet as it's just rumours atm.

Can't imagine ex Loftus / Redcar drivers being very happy about that commute though, if true. It's as bad as Jesmond to Blyth / Ashington and Chester Le Street to Washington / Riverside and both those went down very badly.

Only thing we know for sure right now is that all Redcar staff (presumably minus the ones on the road!) have been called to a meeting at 6pm tonight. The notice only went up yesterday as far as I understand.

Fingers crossed Redcar stays open as it oversees Whitby  depot to

The proposal as I understand it, is to merge Redcar and Stockton into Stockton depot site, plus some additional work going into Whitby.

Whitby will become an outstation of Stockton. Redcar site would close. No changes to the network however.

Additional land on Boathouse Lane has been acquired to accommodate everything.

Formal consultation starts on June 4th, with a driver and depot staff briefing taking place tonight.

What additional work is that for Whitby

Any changes wouldn't take effect until the late summer.

Just one thing I can square off, the same line was used about not cutting services when Stokesley and Lotus faced closure.

I just can't see them keeping a late night 63 Redcar bound and the final one back to the lakes after 11pm.

I hope another operator looks at Redcar depot.
