10/10a/11/11a: 0756 10 from Lingfield Park will run 10 minutes earlier. The 1654 10 from Middlesbrough will run up to 9 minutes later. 10a will run Sunday daytime only running present route to Marton Manor then via A174 Parkway and Newham Way to Parkway Centre then into Lingfield Park. 11a withdrawn, no changes to the 11.
12: All inbound journeys after 1500 Monday to Friday and 1800 Saturday/Sunday will operate direct from Linthorpe Road to Borough Road omitting the Cleveland Centre to improve reliability. Evenign journeys are also reduced to an hour round trip running time (currently 1 hour 6 minutes).
13: The 1531 from Hemlington Shops will now run at all times (presently School Holidays and Saturdays only).
14: Evening/Sunday journeys introduced leaving Middlesbrough at xx50 with the last departure being 2305. As such, a new later journey from Trimdon Avenue to Middlesbrough is added at 2327 (currently the last journey into Middlesbrough is 2243).
36/37/38: Minor timing changes to the 38 in the Glebe area. Evening journeys on all routes are slightly retimed towards Middlesbrough, which sees the present even 15 minutes frequency only between Stockton and Middlesbrough inbound (38s are retimed to move the large layover at the Glebe throughout the route to Stockton, which leaves a 13/17 gap between 36s and the 38).
39: In order to combat ever increasing traffic levels, some Monday to Friday early morning journeys will operate slightly earlier or later, and afternoon buses after approximately 1430 are also amended. Most late evening journeys after approximately 2000 will also depart from the bus station 1 minute later (but same times as now throughout the rest of the route, reducing the round trip time to 29 minutes from the current 30).
And now, thanks to Connect Tees Valley, the 12 is reverting back to its original route in Coulby Newham, serving the stops at The Rainbow Centre in both directions (presently only served into Middlesbrough).
