But the problem of making the 34 separate from the 11/12/14 lies at the Middlesbrough end, not the Billingham end - a round trip on the 34 takes 1 hour 2 minutes. You then have to consider the background issues in terms of staffing - certain 52s during the week and on Saturday mornings are worked by the new starter rota drivers who are only route learnt on a select number of routes (13, 52, 59 and 61).
