(12 Sep 2020, 6:01 pm)Metroline1511 wrote I shall be in Middlesbrough and east Yorkshire next week.  I am hoping to ride a MAX Volvo B9TL on route X93 or X94 from Middlesbrough through to Scarborough.  I am willing to catch route X4 to Whitby and connect with a Volvo B9TL there if it makes all the difference.  Mind you, it might not as route X4 takes so much longer to reach Whitby.

Looking on Flickr, I have seen occasional other buses from Redcar garage on route X93.  My most likely buses are the 8.50 X94, 9.20 X93 or 9.50 X94 from Middlesbrough.

As far as any of you know, is one of the above journeys definitely operated by Whitby garage and therefore (barring anything unforeseen) a Volvo B9TL?

I thank any of you who can let me know!

On paper, the X93 journey should be a B9 as this operates to/from Whitby, while the two X94 journeys would be operated by B7TL's or something else as they start/finish at Middlesbrough and hence are operated by Redcar. 

In reality this is not the case, as Whitby is an outstation of Redcar it seems to be a lot more fluid. For example last week (excluding Tuesday where trackers weren't working in the morning) the 8:50 was run by a B9 3 days and a B7 one day, and the 9:50 was also run by a B9 3 days but also a Pulsar one day. Whereas the 9.20 was only run by a B9 2 days, a B7 the other day and a Temsa the other. So it'll probably be a case of being lucky as to what turns up on the day!
