*Services 21a, X1, X6 and X93 will use the temporary Bus Station in Denmark Street Car Park (opposite the Bus Station, behind Sainsbury's) at all time
*Most Services will use their normal Town Centre stops on Albert Road and Grange Road though some services will be using Corporation Road
*Services 5b, 17c, 22a, 64b, 627 and 631/632 as well as evening and Sunday services will use both Denmark Street Bus Station and the Town Centre
*No details have been included regarding the X3/X4 and 64/a
The Teesside Service changes take place the week before the closure, fun all around effectively.
Will most buses now be using Denmark Street bus station? If so, I might go to Middlesbrough this year after all!
I looked at your Flickr photo above, and came across a picture of a Dart on route X5 as highlighted below. I am shocked if these regularly work route X5, as this may make it harder to ride a leather-seated OmniCity on that route.

Nope, just the 21a, X1, X6 and X93 from Arriva (presumably the X66 as well, no mention of that yet) and presumably the X9/X10 for Go North East, 95 for Tees Valley Coach Travel and 34 for Stagecoach. And all evening and Sunday services, and the Coach Work. All other routes will only run to the bus station to change drivers (or for layovers, not entirely sure what is happening).
And yes, that does happen regularly on the X5 but only on Whitby runs. By then anyway, the X5 will have been replaced by the 5 which will be PVR 4 from each depot. Stockton should be using the leather-seated OmniCitys and probably one of the Pulsars.
