Also, the 5/5A performs the local function around Cargo Fleet/Cranmore Road, so a full express is very unlikely, unless there are two hourly variations beyond Guisborough (one via Skelton ASDA and one via both Skinningrove and Liverton Mines). Both of these would increase the end to end time.
Not sure what else they could do within the existing PVR.
That works if they curtail the 5A to Guisborough as it will save 30 minutes per trip. The problem is if it saves 30 minutes that's a bus in the PVR and if they can save a bus they will.
