RE: New service X11 - streetdeckfan - 18 May 2021
(18 May 2021, 6:58 pm)GNE6312 Don't forget 7108/10/30/32/35-37 will also be freed up at the end of the school year depending on what's needed on NX contracts when they resume next month. Also what will be required back on the NX contracts when they return next month?
Could easily be done I'm sure, would make a good spare for the X9/X10 alongside 7128/11 so the X9/10 can be fully coach no matter what.
Are those vehicles wheelchair accessible?

X11 goes daily from this week, as it enters the summer season.
Only 12 seats left according to bustimes.org, and its only at Heworth with 7156 allocated... dupe needed soon?
Edit:
Service X11⚠️ We are aware that service X11 has left passengers at Washington Galleries, don't worry, there is an extra bus on its way to pick you up which should arrive in approximately 20 minutes.

Glorious weather, bank holiday, lockdown easing. I’d have been worried if it wasn’t busy!

Absolutely, but good to see there's a plan in place if the one bus a day is full. I don't know many operators that would send out a second coach, and do it so quickly at that.
RE: New service X11 - OrangeArrow49 - 29 May 2021
I think special bus/coach services for the summer are truly a good idea. X11 and X75, Toon Tour and Beamish Express B1, all good. Hopefully more in the future!

(29 May 2021, 8:10 am)Michael X11 goes daily from this week, as it enters the summer season.Just a question about bustimes.org. How do they obtain the live information on the tracking page which shows how many seats are available on a bus at a particular time?

It's part of the Open Bus API, only some bus companies show it and it's fed from the ticket machines.

There's all sorts of data you can publish with vehicle activity, but sadly most operators don't at the minute
Plenty of information here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/technical-guidance-publishing-location-data-using-the-bus-open-data-service-siri-vm/technical-guidance-siri-vm
RE: New service X11 - Micheal Aaron - 05 Jun 2021
X11 required another duplicate today. Seems its busy more on the weekend. Wondering what this will say for the summer holidays

Data including driver duty numbers, for example, which popped up for a number of operators on Bustimes a couple of weeks ago. All for improving data to the public, but there needs to be better control on what gets let out.

Big oof
I guess this is what we've all been waiting for!
How are they getting back, are they using an EY vehicle?

Well GNE are going to be trying out what happens with a breakdown in Scarborough as it seems the short run to and from Whitby isn't running due to vehicle breakdown.

Unless of course EYorkshire mechanics can complete a repair before the return journey, if they cant going to be interesting to see what they send in place of the levante.

RE: New service X11 - Micheal Aaron - 10 Jun 2021
What's strange. It wasn't an X Lines coach as well.
Also did it even pick/drop anyone off in Whitby or Scarborough as bus org shows it not serving Whitby Coach stand or Scarborough rail station
Possible just stopped tracking or something else
RE: New service X11 - Rapidsnap - 10 Jun 2021
Prob did serve it, just that sometimes the trackers can have a bit of a blank moment and lose track of the bus.

Looks like 7130 has been fixed and is showing for the return journey on X11 according to bus times

They could have just swapped the machine over into one of EY's coaches as presumably EY won't have the route or tickets programmed
