How many times do we see these running in tandem? OK it's.difficult to operate a sustainable timetable to meet demand but surely something needs to be done.

What is service X94 that I've seen mentioned?
I'm pretty sure the 63 wouldn't be every 10 minutes if demand didn't exist for it. Don't forget, the operators have all of the data available at their fingertips to make this decision on.

I understand that Service 64/64A will also see a reduced frequency from April.

Those wishing to travel from Guisborough through to Stokesley will have to travel into Middlesbrough will the corresponding increases in both travelling time and cost. I guess, at the end of the day passenger numbers dictate?
There is an opportunity to change at Swans Corner, between Service 5/5A and 28A, avoiding the need to go into Middlesbrough.

As long as bus companies are private, they will only be interested in the financial side of things, they are a business. No business would last very long if they made long term losses.
