Well this month sees some minor service changes in the Tees Valley area...
From Sunday, May 4th
New improved timetables for the summer season were introduced on seaside services X56/56 and 93 between Middlesbrough, Whitby and Scarborough.
X56: Gives an hourly service during the day between Middlesbrough and Whitby, plus hourly short services between Middlesbrough and Loftus/Easington, giving a half hourly service between Middlesbrough and Loftus.
93: Gives an hourly service between Middlesbrough and Scarborough with some faster X93's in each direction during the morning (southbound) and afternoon (northbound).
Timetables: 56/X56 93/X93
From Sunday, May 18th
First off there's Arriva with their X3/X4 services between Middlesbrough, Redcar and Loftus - one minor change is that they will no longer serve the bus stops outside the old bus station at the eastern end of the high street. There are also a few minor timing changes during the day. See here for the new timetable.
Also a new long distance service X60 starts - between Newcastle Eldon Square and Scarborough, serving Gateshead, Peterlee, Billingham, Middlesbrough, Whitby and Scarborough and a few places in between. This gives Tyneside a link to Whitby and Scarborough in the summer months along with service X61 from Durham and Darlington. This service will run every Sunday and Bank Holiday from May 18th, and daily between Sunday 20th July - 7th September. It is anticipated that like Service X61, this service will also be run with a double decker providing plenty of room for your trip to the seaside! Timetables: X60 X61
