I haven't came up with a service number series or frequencies for the above suggestion, I do think it would be we wise for Go North East/EYMS to integrate NatEX services and expand them into these routes to make them more viable, alternatively they could adopt a Day Trip style operation again to make services viable.
I don't think there's much point in duplicating corridors which already have plenty of coach services. Between National Express and Megabus, they've got most of these corridors carved up already.
However, I do think a competitive express service with Arriva between Middlesbrough and Scarborough and/or Leeds and Hull would do well, as there'd be traffic at either end (X9/X10 into Middlesbrough, various EYMS services in Scarbs and Hull.
