Using the travel planner for the first trip of the day 7.23am from Whitby to Middlesbrough on Tuesday this week...Journey planners can't deal with 'through' routes and 'same bus' connections - so it won't see that the same bus runs through to Middlesbrough and you can stay on, it'll recommend maybe 5 mins to connect between buses in Guisborough - at which point the X93 has gone - so it'll put you on the next 5. It just needs it to be 'linked' as one service in the background. Traveline offers this through journey opportunity for example.
I tend to use Bustimes for timetables but even that isn't 100% foolproof.
