(Yesterday, 4:27 pm)220631612 wrote Cutting the X3 to New Marske would be removing the direct link between Lingdale/Skelton and Redcar which would be a no go. Bear in mind that once upon a time the 28 did Middlesbrough-Saltburn via Guisborough and Lingdale.
Aye no arguments, sorry was too clear on the cutting bit. The rest of the X3 from Marske to Lingdale, would be on an extended 81 instead so the links would be kept.
So it'd be like:
X2/X3: Middlesbrough to New Marske
28: Middlesbrough to Redcar
81: Redcar to Lingdale (81 from Redcar to Marske Estate, extended to Lingdale via the 3/X3 route)
If you felt New Marske didn't need 2 buses an hour you could potentially do this either:
X2: Middlesbrough to New Marske
X3: Middlesbrough to Marske Estate
28: Middlesbrough to Redcar
81: Redcar to Lingdale (81 from Redcar to Marske, omitting the estate, extended to Lingdale via the 3/X3 route)
