EYMS didnt really think when desigining this seasons 120:X20 timetable. With it going into both Primrose Valley and Reighton Sands Holiday Villages the roads are narrow enough. Except the didnt really take this into account. A 120 heading towards Bridlington is due to leave the stop on Reighton Sands Holiday Village at xx:00 which is fine. However, the 120 heading towards Scarborough is timed to leave the same stop at xx:01. This means most of the time, they would have to pass eachother on the site or on the road down to the village where the road, to be honest, isnt much wider.
Also worth note. The 19:05pm 120 departure from Scarborough to Reighton Sands Holiday Village didnt terminate there at all in a week. I suspect it will terminate at somewhere like Primrose Valley Holiday Park which is the main holiday park of the 4 situated on the Scarborough/Filey section of the East Coast. There is also the element that the Summer holiday season is over and not many people are going to be in Scarborough until 19:00 at night anyway...especially if that is the last departure.
My last little nag at the 120:X20 is the reliability of the Volvo B9TL Enviro 400s. The total PVR of both services combined is 4. And they have 4 E400s despite only 2 being branded for the services. The only 2 that i can say that have seen daily usage over the past week have been 722 and 723. No sign of 724 and 725 at all with Volvo B7TL Geminis, Volvo B9TL Wright Gemini (1 and 2) and 3 times service 120 has seen a Volvo B7RLE Plaxton Centro allocated. Coming back from Filey last night, i saw 723 parked in a layby (which strangly wasnt even on the 120 route) being reoiled by the maintenance team and looked very sorry for itself.
Rant over.
