Two new bus routes will be rolled out at the start of April to connect even more communities to public transport.

The routes, which will be operated by Stagecoach and funded by the Tees Valley Combined Authority, will run in Middlesbrough and Stockton from April 2.

These routes will be run for several locations across both Middlesbrough and Stockton and will be on a one-year trial basis.

Stagecoach will operate a Wynyard to Stockton Service funded by the TVCA from 7am to 7pm, and will run via Stockton High Street, Billingham Green & Town Centre, Wolviston Village, and Wynyard.
