New service X11
New service X11
There's always a small chance of a full bus on these sort of routes, and people left behind on the return. I know Coastliners 843 gets lots of summer day trippers travelling from Leeds to Scarborough for the day, and a driver friend of mine used to advise them to return on the penultimate bus if possible when it was a busy day. Of course, people would often ignore that and the last us was full and people were left behind on several occasions. They then had to get a train/taxi, basically make their own way home; there arent spare buses or drivers available.
If the same were to happen with the X11, it would only realistically be passengers boarding from Whitby who'd not get on, and they do have the Arriva services to get back as far as Middlesbrough if that was the case.
But there's only so much anyone can do. I've seen for myself, people have a day out as the seaside and had no clue when the last bus leaves (or has left!), which stand to use, or have the common sense on a really busy summers day to get in the bus queue early.
