I mean unless City or Northstar decide to expand down onto Teesside I don’t see who else it would be as really only Stagecoach who could do it as things stand. Compass Royston maybe but they don’t seem to have any interest at getting back into service work either.
As stated earlier - Stagecoach will at least be operating the 51 from the start on the 30th March until July when they are formally tendered (alongside all the TVCA-funded work). I believe the routes and timetables are all now locked in.
