With three new services the
1 (Red)
2 (Purple)
3 (Light Blue)
All every 30 minutes and the 10, 37 and 59 all replaced by it.
No-one loses out but it opens new connections to Teesside Park which is horribly served but at the same time opens links to James Cook which is just as bad from the Stockton area. East to West services across Middlesbrough and Stockton are pretty much non existent atm.
It's not as Arriva can complain as it's all existing services in there area.
The existing services from/to Teesside Park run from both hubs in Middlesbrough & Stockton. I tried connecting Stockton & James Cook Hospital at Stagecarriage and the market just want there.
Also a lot of the 59’s route is also served by the 13/13a which offers links to Middlesbrough already.
I definitely think there needs to be a link between the two hospitals but the only way that would be viable is to run it around a handful of school contracts - and adding other employment sites and other unserved bits such as Amazon and Wolviston Village.
