Obviously you don’t live in Hartlepool so won’t know how difficult it is to get to North Tees by bus from the town. The problem is none of the bus companies or the combined authority seem interested in doing anything it also costs quite a bit in a taxi as well.I had to go to North Tees from Hartlepool last week and hadn’t realised the 36 wasn’t direct. Also, the journey time was horrendous when compared to a car (which I used in the end). Defo a need for a faster and direct link .
As for the X36 I never said the route was how it was originally I was suggesting a new express route with same number.
Yes the 1 is the quickest but even then it can take around 45minutes to get from Middlesbrough to Hartlepool Town Centre and it’s not exactly direct either considering it does all of Seaton Carew then the clearances.
As for the combined authority they only seem to be doing what suits them and not services that are actually needed otherwise they would be some sort of service in every area.
