(28 Jun 2023, 12:14 pm)RobinHood wrote £389,500 per year. That is the cost to the public purse that Stagecoach have been awarded to operate Services 1/2.
Add to that, the cost of Tees Flex also running in the area, probably brings the East Cleveland share of TVCA support to over £1million per year.
Absolutely unbelievable (and frankly shameful volume of public spending being used for a bus service to link Liverton, Loftus Estates and Moorsholm basically).
Frankly not surprised with Arriva actions either learning this. Imagine if that funding was used to enhance the existing services already in situ!
Add the X3A/3 in to the mix going purely from a post shared by Jimmi.
I don't think anyone has come out of this with any grace.
ANE have clearly spat their dummy out.
Houchen, Clarke and the independent councilors are too busy patting each others backs to notice what the public really need and want.
