In contrast, the mentioned 34 (the 34A was withdrawn long before Covid when the 34 reverted back to every 20 minutes) is now down to half hourly for the first time since 2014 and has had a significant amount of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).
Thanks for that, got the 34/34A mixed up there was just flicking through, guess that's struggling with the limited time and serious frequency reduction - surprising considering where it connects and can't imagine people taking the much longer 36 instead but then again there's not exactly anything in Middlesbrough nowadays.
