I must assume that it's the overall passenger usage that dictates what happens here with, again I'm assuming, that most usage is generated between Guisborough and Redcar?

Regarding Roseberry Topping? Isn't this within the domain served by the news Tees Flex operation?

Service 28/28a. Quite a demanding route I would say. Little wonder that drivers enjoy a 13 minute layover at Stokesley. How many times is this eaten in to to keep the service on time? No idea what happens on the Lingdake trips? 13 minutes sat up there must seem like a lifetime!!
