Interesting how they suggest getting the X10 and X93/94 instead, let's say someone from Newcastle, Gateshead or Heworth got the 09:10 X10 instead, that would get to Middlesbrough at 10:54, around an hour later than present, then let's say they got the 11:20 X93 you'd arrive at Scarborough at 13:38 vice the current 11:45.

As for passengers from Washington, they could always get the X1 to Dalton Park and connect with the X10...oh wait never mind

Alternatively someone could get the 08:44 TPE from Newcastle to York arriving 09:48 and the 10:00 to Scarborough you could be there at 10:52...not that TPE provides the most reliable service atm
