Changes to services in Tees Valley and surrounding areas

From Sunday 28th January 2024, there will be some changes taking place to services in the Tees Valley and surrounding areas.

NEW Service 16 – Ingleby Barwick to Middlesbrough, via Thornaby & Teesside Park

We will be implementing a new Service 16 into our network from the above date, which will see a direct link provided between Ingleby Barwick, Thornaby and Teesside Park, with all journeys continuing to Middlesbrough Bus Station up to every 30 minutes during Monday to Saturday daytimes and hourly on Sundays. In Ingleby Barwick most journeys will continue as service 15 providing links across Ingleby Barwick.

Within Ingleby Barwick, the service will operate to the exact opposite of the current Service 15 route, designed to ensure the widest possible catchment opportunities for all residents, whilst also providing a local circular service (in conjunction with Service 15) within Ingleby Barwick itself that residents can utilise to make short trips to Tesco for example.

Buses will commence from Beckfields Avenue and will operate via Beckfields Shops, Barwick Way, Sober Hall Avenue, Blair Avenue, Tesco, Myton Way, The Rings, Broom Hill Avenue and Lowfields Avenue.

Within Thornaby, buses will operate via Cunningham Drive, Trenchard Avenue, Thornaby Centre, Baysdale Avenue, Humber Road, Thorntree Road and Westbury Street, before heading to Teesside Park and Middlesbrough.

This new service will create additional and faster journey opportunities to Middlesbrough also, for residents within Thorntree Road and Westbury Street areas and will combine with Service 15 to retain up to six buses per hour between Westbury Street, Thorntree Road and Thornaby Town Centre.
