New service X11
New service X11
(06 Mar 2021, 3:07 pm)tvd From the Go North East page, they've registered a new service X11 running from Newcastle to Scarborough.
I think it makes sense for them to try something like this, even if it's an infrequent service. I'm a big believer that post-lockdown, bus companies need to be thinking of anything they can do to encourage customers back onto the buses, or for new people to try bus travel. All ideas should be considered, and in this case I think people will want their days out at the coast in the summer months so why not try something that goes down to their other operating area in Scarborough.
In fact I suggested the other day that Arriva could try extending the odd X93 to run down to the holiday camps beyond Scarborough, or make it a new service.
It'll be interesting to see the details of the X11, and if Arriva react to it.
