Try and get this in the right place!!

Just been out for my daily exercise/essential supplies. Whilst out I took notice of the buses that were operating and I don't need to say this, but it's a real waste of resources. Sadly a needed waste.

I did see though, in North Ormesby, Middlesbrough, a service 8 (Netherfields), a service 9 (Overfields) and little doubt, a service 5/5a (Guisborough/Easington)) operating, more or less in tandem.

That got me thinking and looking at the emergency timetables. 3 buses an hour on the 8, 2 on the 9 and likewise, 2 on the 5/5a. Now surely that's a waste of resources given the current situation as these services operate along the same corridor, serve the same area.

OK it would take a bit of planning, Then there is no doubt the relevant legislation to comply with and then such changes wouldn't please everyone. But then just who is "everyone" and aren't these tough, unprecedented times?

Just a though people.
