With the short 1's being part of it, the 35 withdrawn (it's clearly struggling anyway) and then it being bolted onto the 57, 58 or 59 at the hospital end (take your pick which). 59 is the easiest but longest.
If I'm right the PVR should be only be 1 extra bus, could make it serve Greatham aswell and pull the 36 out of there to slightly speed that up. It's absolutely ridiculous that Wynyard Business Park is unserved and would be quite popular imo, you just have to look at the 4 and extra 58's at Follingsby and there's no public transport at all to there.
Have thought putting the 36 down to half hourly and extending the 37 to Hartlepool could work with it direct from North Tees to say Wolviston if that possible to do then Joining the 36 route from Wolviston roundabout keeping the 15 minute link. Billingham still has the the 36 every minutes plus the 35 and and 52 so still has regular services to Stockton.
