Tees Valley Quality Bus Partnership
The five Tees Valley Local Authorities work closely with the local bus operators on a number of issues, including the bus network improvements. There are monthly Tees Valley Quality Bus Partnership meetings where the five Tees Valley Authorities meet the main bus operators Stagecoach and Arriva.

Tees Valley Real Time Bus Passenger Information
Recently, the first 21 real time passenger information displays have been installed in Darlington and Stockton-on-Tees. These are displaying live departure information for Arriva services, their fleet now being almost completely equipped, as well as the premier Go North East express service X10 to Newcastle. Further signs, in a variety of formats, are to be added at key stops and attractors across the Tees Valley over the coming months, bringing the total to 100. 30 junctions have also been equipped to provide traffic signal priority to late running buses and will be commissioned shortly.
