But it might be less than the East Yorkshire day ticket (which is £12.50) - so it could be included within that zone. I wouldn't be surprised if they did this, or at least allowed onwards travel with an X11 ticket, because then they could mention their local network in any route marketing. Being able to use the EY open top services in Scarborough, or continue onwards to Bridlington, might persuade visitors onto the X11 instead of changing onto the X93 at Middlesbrough.
Might it be included within the Explorer? I'm too young to really remember the X60/X61, which would be the nearest thing to this new route - were they included?
There's no reason it shouldn't be included in the explorer, Arriva's competing service is. I'd imagine GNE would want to poach their passengers.
Having said that, Arriva's regionwide ticket is only £8.50 a day, so already cheaper than GNE's and it covers Carlisle, Berwick and Scarborough, so if you're in an Arriva area, they'll probably be the best value still
