So, the fall is as much to do with LAs removing supported services/ lowering of CT schemes, etc.
Anyone like to hazard a guess as to how much operation is directly secured in the Teesside/ Hartlepool areas these days?
Very little in Teesside, Redcar still fund some early morning services eg 746/7/8 and 794.
Some councils operate some services themselves though which were previously ran by other companies... I wonder if these are included in the figures or not?
