And the sun is out so is everyone else! Just travelled back from Stockton (work) on a SNE 36 and there wasn't a hope of any social distancing. Them that think of hiking across with their shopping trollies to Teeside Park want to think again! Essential journies only !;

And finally praise to Arriva for trying the cashless idea. Just a shame it ain't going to work!

How bad was it.  The 36 is probably one of the busiest services stagecoach have even on a Sunday it gets full so reducing it to every hour was just Stupid. I know people meant to be staying in but clearly people are still needing the bus so stagecoach need to think again here.  Double Decker will just encourage more people to use it so maybe a proper half hourly Sunday Service between 10:00 and 5:00 then hourly after that taking the 38 off instead with the 35 going back to its original route until things can get back to normal might be the solution.
