Sunday 7 August will be the last day our service to Whitby and Scarborough runs.
Those wanting a day out at the North Yorkshire coast after 7 August can do so by catching our X10 service to Middlesbrough and then the Arriva X93/X94 to Whitby or Scarborough.

A good move in my opinion, operating special seaside trips when normal services are cancelled left, right and centre isn’t great for those who rely on buses just to get home at night. And the X1 every 15 minutes makes sense as at least it’s now exactly every 30 minutes to Peterlee.

"low passenger number" thats because no one knows IT EXISTED.

It's why both of these have been done imo, X11 driver's bailing out the mess at CLS and Washington being seriously short of drivers due to lack of interest in helping out.

(03 Aug 2022, 9:52 am)Adrian wrote Cancelling a service with a couple days notice is disgraceful. There may be low demand, but there'll still be some people relying on it, who barely have time to blink to find an alternative.

Go North East have decided to cancel the X11 after close of play this Saturday coming (7/8/22). Safe to say this hasn’t gone down well judging by the comments on Facebook, personally I don’t blame people especially those who don’t drive and look forward to a trip to the seaside.
Also during the middle of the summer holidays as well when parents want to take their kids out for the day.
