North East Independents

RE: North East Independents
Some more news on Leven Valley services. Croft Travel will take over Leven Valley's 18/19 and 605-607 routes from Saturday. Stagecarriage's 55 service will replace the 455/456 and 492 between Middlesbrough and Normanby. Stagecoach will step in with additional Sunday morning journeys on the 12 and 36, partly replacing services 436 and 603-607.
