What they are looking at doing (they have specifically stated on the form that these are ideas, not set-in-stone plans)
- Planning to retain 12 buses an hour between Middlesbrough and James Cook Hospital between the 28/29/29a and 63
- Services from Stokesley/Great Ayton and Lingdale/Guisborough/Nunthorpe would be rerouted via Longlands rather than via Linthorpe
- Saltersgill would see service level reduced from the present 20 minutes service back to the half hourly level of pre-February 2014
- Easterside and Marton Manor would see an increase from every 20 minutes to every 15 minutes
- Every 15 minutes from Marton Shops (down from every 10 minutes) with 2 an hour operating faster journey times
- Cypress Road would return to the equal half hourly frequency instead of the 20/40 minute split at present
- Nunthorpe would revert to a half hourly service (vice every 20 minutes) operating to the faster journey times
- Eagle Park, Great Ayton, Stokesley, Guisborough and Lingdale would retain their present service level
- Evening and Sunday 28Bs would remain unchanged
Just can't leave anything alone for five minutes can they. Having said that, nothing came of the Netherfields consultation so hopefully the same will happen to this. Why did they take the services off Longlands in the first place?!
