New service X11
New service X11
Just my opinion, but I think if we're arguing over the route number, or what will happen if a couple of passengers want to board the return journey at Middlesbrough if the X9 or X10 is missing, we're searching a bit too hard to look for negatives.
It takes nothing away from the X9/X10 services, and is only a once a day (initially weekends only) special service to the coast, meant for those wanting to go to Whitby/Scarbro.
Prices are very reasonable. Timings look good, plenty of time allowed in either town or some time in both. But most of all, GNE are actually willing to try something new, something that I think all bus companies should be more willing to do.
Good luck to them. It might even get Arriva to consider something different themselves, to have the X93/X94 every 20 mins in peak summer terminating at Scarborough and nothing extending a bit further to Cayton Bay, Filey or Brid is missing a trick, and would be easy to try even a once a day service there themselves.
