The 36 is not really a Hartlepool service though same as its not really a Middlesbrough service. The area it serves the most of is Stockton.  It’s no good if you need to get from the Headland or Hospital or Seaton Carew because the Enviros broke down again.

I read somewhere a few buses from down south or Scotland will be getting shared out between pools and stockton as well as Hyrdos and E400s?

I wouldn’t believe anything until it happens.  They brought Darts up from Yorkshire intending to replace some of the enviros and only about two of them are another went to Shields and about 2 where scrapped straight away because they were worse than the existing fleet so if buses do come from elsewhere it probably won’t be much of an improvement like usual.   
The Hydro again are going to be for Stockton depot so will be of very little benefit for the Hartlepool services. ( 1 3 3A 6 and 7  I don’t really count the 20 or 980 since they early morning work services).
