Plus they're competing with the train.

Wouldn't have thought there was that much demand. Even if they were pump priming it to be honest.

The only advantage the 1 has over the 36 (that I can see) is that it goes near so many key employment sites.
For all the things thrown his way, I'll give Houchen some credit in that there's been improvements to services to the likes of Teesport under his watch. Maybe he sees the 1 in a similar light.

As far as I'm aware the 1 isn't part of the plans, there's a map of all the routes on here - https://moderngov.middlesbrough.gov.uk/d...0Draft.pdf (P21). It's 100% the 36 corridor that's getting the improvements.

The one that's baffling is:

Rail: British Steel Redcar Station

That station is currently mothballed and is inaccessible as it's literally in the middle of private land. Not sure what they're going to do there bar shutting it properly.
