Secured services on evenings and sundays shouldn’t be operated by the same company who says that there are not profitable and themselves wanting to run the service using taxpayers money for there own greed

The DCC 239 was a merge of the United/Arriva 234 between Peterlee and Sedgefield and United/Arriva 240 between Easington Village and Peterlee
The previous United 239/240 were circulars between Easington and Durham then later with the take over of TMS United had another 239 Easington and Trimdon Village to replace the TMS 235 that didn’t last long.

When SB ran the 58A Durham to Hartlepool via Peterlee on behalf of DCC Arriva 22/24 Tickets where valid.
Similar now the SB 57X DCC service Passengers can buy a cheap return which is also valid on the Arriva 57.
DCC needs to get their act together with the operators to organise region wide tickets.
They have been talking about it for years.
