The 81 enjoyed an evening service for sometime, it's the section of the route between Guisborough and Stokesley that is being cut.I've checked and Tees Flex is much further east, and also doesn't extend into North Yorkshire. It is odd that instead of serving areas where it could be of use, Tees Flex in East Cleveland seems to be focused on competing with Arriva's conventional routes - the other two zones usually manage to avoid quite such obvious competition.
Again I would reiterate that for those wanting to be at Roseberry Topping et al this is where Tees Flex should come into play. For those few wishing to travel off Guisborough into Great Ayton/Stokesley then the connection option from service 5/5a onto service 28a at Swan's Corner isn't as bad as might be feared.
