They totally deserve the investment imo. It's noticeable that other than the 39 all of the routes are back to pre covid times which can't be said about Slatyford.
Stockton's network was revised back in November, hence certain routes don't appear to be back to pre-Covid Times - the 39 is back to pre-Covid running times but on a reduced frequency (every 15 rather than every 12) and with a minor revised route into Middlesbrough. In contrast, the mentioned 34 (the 34A was withdrawn long before Covid when the 34 reverted back to every 20 minutes) is now down to half hourly for the first time since 2014 and has had a significant amount of running time removed (on the previous every 20 minutes, a round trip was 69 minutes, they now get 63 minutes during the day with one afternoon peak time journey getting just 61 minutes).
