The actual reason none of the E200s are used at Whitby is because you need a 'wheel forward ' configuration of the vehicle to avoid the bus bottoming out at various points on the 96 route.
Also, 2866 operated the first 96 today, but was tracking at 1563 I believe, which confuses bustimes.org.
Whilst it's a good resource, using bustimes as gospel for deciding if a service operated or not is actually not ideal, as it isn't always accurate.
Admit, it's below the 33, but isn't there 31 seats in them? unless the seats in the disabled bay are discounted for whatever reason.
