I heard it was popular but there was controversy over how many were genuine users and how many were just using it as a free bus since most of the attractions are handy stops for the town centre and marina shops anyway.There is definitely merit in linking a number of attractions up but the idea I have is spread over a wider area, linking much of Teesside estates direct to the seaside where direct links don't currently exist. It would only really be viable in high summer though, perhaps something for school buses to do.
Not sure how big the council fleet is now but they had a few Optare Solos and E300s at one point, could have been a useful asset to the town filling in the gaps left by the commercial network if current legislation hadn’t prevented them doing so.
