Speaking of Summer services, I reckon GNE should start some services to Scarborough and Whitby from Newcastle and Durham.

Do Arriva still run services down to there from Durham in Summer, remember getting a direct bus down to Scarborough in the late 90's

As for open top services who remembers Coastlines Open Top Service in the mid-90's, think it went from Whitley Bay down to Tynemouth or North Shields

2 hours? Maybe use the motorway from Newcastle to Middlesbrough, then something similar to the X93 from Middlesbrough to Scarborough?

No they don't run any more, the X60 and X61 were killed off by concessionary passes!

In a way yes because if you have 3 kids who are restless you dont want to spend 3 hours getting cooked on a bus

This suggestion is basically just the previous X60/X61 and children did go mad when I used the X61 one time I had had to put up with children climbing over the seats and screaming with their mum shouting at them between Whitby and Darlington when they got off everyone started bad mouthing them.

I second that. My friends and I are going there for a day trip sometime next month. Many of them are happy enough getting the bus, but me and couple of others are getting the train down after the last time. Was absolutely ridiculous.

The X60/X61 pretty much did this and it was so much better and was over 20 minutes faster.

I think that Stagecoach would be interested in the Deptford operations that particularly concern South Shields and Sunderland but otherwise, I'd say not really. Do you folks think that GNE would have any interest in any rival depots around the region?

Possibly Arriva's Belmont and their Durham services?

Think either Stagecoach or Arriva Teesside would be of Interest gives them a chance to cover all of the North East and into Yorkshire which could mean more profit

Still got some perceptions to change on the X93 then?
Hopefully the investment in the service will help!
