Not sure there mind, on paper maybe, but on paper and reality are two different things. Seems to be around 1 hour 45 minutes for the whole route, but then there's Dixon Bank and Marton Road which are an absolute nightmare at the best of times, especially with the summer coast traffic.
I'd be pretty pissed if I'm waiting for a bus from Redcar to Marske Estate and it's 15 minutes late because it got stuck there.
And that's before some roadworks in Redcar, or what not - you'd have to expect some somewhere by the sheer length of the route.
