Also, some of the trips to North Yorkshire also have EYMS depots in close(ish) proximity should any technical problems occur.
- Flamingo Land
- Whitby / Scarborough
- Lightwater Valley
- York day trips (race weekends could be popular as well) and perhaps York Designer Outlet
Trips could be run using one of the normal coaches but if demand is there, could also use one of the X9/X10 interdecks with 6377 standing in.
Wouldn't Northern Coaching be a better brand to use? Bearing in mind that "X-lines Escapes" would be only consigned to advertising and paperwork. And it isn't actually an eXpress line.
Not to mention the uproar it would cause to independent operators. Lothian is a good example of what happens.
