Like in an ideal world you'd be able to get a bus to the train station then hop onto the train to go further distances whether that's Newcastle, Durham or whatever.

In the real world though buses go nowhere near the stations and instead do long winded meandering trips around everywhere. Even if it does mean changing trains but then they'd be connected to meet aswell, unlike what really happens is you'll come in then the other train pulls out just beforehand with an hour wait etc.

I don't know Saltburn too well but no doubt the bus bypasses it or it's a 15 minute walk between the two, nothing connects so you'll be waiting 20 minutes or so and you can't use the same ticket on either. 

The fact in 2022 there's no bus / rail / metro ticket is mind boggling really. Then they wonder why people drive. imo it should be cycling/public transport vs car in reality it's cycling vs buses vs Metro vs trains vs cars

Saltburn isn't too bad. The station is in the centre of the town and the bus stops are less than a minutes walk on the square.
4 buses an hour towards Middlesbrough and 4 buses an hour towards the EC villages. Plus the Coatham 18 and Teesflex services.

But that's where it ends. No ticketing integration that I'm aware of at all.
