Let's not forget that NYCC (where over half of the passengers board) have just cut their concessionary reimbursement rate... I'm not sure we'll ever find out the true rate but I bet it's not far north of 50p/passenger !!

Middlesbrough - Whitby is the quiet section of the X93, and there are issues with loadings between Whitby and Scarborough, especially in the summer when the tourists help to overload the service. Indeed last summer one morning journey had to have a duplicate every day as one double deck vehicle wasn't enough to carry everyone! Hence we have 8 double decks this summer for use on the 8 boards.
