I'm not sure how many people would use it, but an infrequent variation of say the EYMS service 128 from Pickering and Helmsley up to Teesside could be an another idea to give a new connection between places currently hard to get to by public transport.
Unless Scarborough & District and GNE worked something together, it's unrealistic to expect more than what we're getting on the X11, but of course us bus enthusiasts always want more!
I think that 128 variation is an excellent idea. Apart from walkers and those looking to get to The Lion, Rosedale or Hutton le Hole, it would certainly open up a connection over the moors.
Marketed and designed correctly, I reckon it could work well.
