(12 Aug 2014, 10:53 am)AdamY Do people really want to go Middlesbrough though?
It's one thing linking Middlesbrough, by bus, with Newcastle, Durham, Darlington, Hartlepool and Sunderland but entirely another linking Boro with Leeds, Harrogate, York and Hull. A train-service between Middlesbrough, Leeds and York already exists and it would be much quicker to use York as a hub if one needed to travel to either Hull or Harrogate.

(12 Aug 2014, 12:42 pm)NEBCD Malarkey There is also the Questionable Argument as to whether Middlesbrough is Part of the North East, or in Fact part of Yorkshire, for me i'd say it's Borderline, much like Berwick.

(14 Aug 2014, 11:21 am)Andreos Constantopolous Not to repeat what others have said, but the destinations are covered via the intercity coach network or by trains.
In the past, I did suggest the Scarborough - Middlesbrough run could have worked, if only because of the reputation the x93 had/has.
I do think the horse has bolted with that one.
If the alternative to the x93 did come off, we could have seen another operator working in the area - giving the native operators a run for their money.
* Scarborough - Middlesbrough (via moors)
* Middlesbrough - Durham (via Darlington and A1 (m))
* York - Middlesbrough (via Pickering and Helmsley)
* York - Middlesbrough (via Easingwold and Thirsk)
With those routes, although they are possible via train for point to point journeys, there is scope in picking people up 'along the way', in places not served by train or intercity coaches.

I rode the Bike Bus service 800 a few times over the weekend, and passenger numbers were very poor, especially over the weekend. I used it from Ambleside to Bowness on one occasion, and I was the only passenger until Brockhole where a OAP boarded. The passenger numbers were decent from Windermere to Bowness, but leavng Bowness there were only three passengers. No bikes on at all.
I was thinking that the Bike Bus could be scrapped, or be used on the 505 between Coniston and Windermere?
