An "isolated" community is to lose its first bus to a nearby town in a decade after only three months of operation. The number 68 from Port Clarence to Billingham and the University Hospital of North Tees was introduced on a trial basis in February.

It said it brought in just £12.58 a day and four people per trip, while running costs were in excess of £80 a day.
