The 39 should be every 10 minutes with a half hour extention ie 39A which will run to JCUH. Switch your brain on stagecoach.
I very much agree with you regarding getting some stick. I'll be one of them.
But with the new electronic system being put into place. ( been used to monitor services over the last 3-4 months ) It will be interesting to see how it all pans out over the coming months especially with the last 4 weeks run up to Christmas and the blessed grid lock which usually occurs outside the bus station and up Linthorpe Road. If it is true regarding the 39's and 12's interacting then god help any driver working Middlesbrough. With regards to the 37 to JCUH, again all I can say is that I've personally dropped more pax off on Marton Road than carried to the Hospital. Not only that, depends on how much Arriva are going to allow how many services we operate up and down Marton Road and Ladgate Lane. What if Arriva decide to extend the 15 into North Tees Hospital? or decide to make a permant link to Hartlepool. :s
