What will happen to the outstanding passengers who cant get on.
They cant really say as they do on twitter "we know service X11 has left passengers behind at Whitby but dont worry we will have another bus sent to you" or could they if they use EY as an additional emergency contingency. None of us are probably expecting this scenario to happen due to the current situation but maybe one day there wont be enough seats for the return journey.
Doubt this will be such a big issue tbh, can't see there being many people to fill more than one bus load heading to Newcastle and the majority of people on the X93 are likely to have Arriva tickets anyway instead of Explorers since GNE is pretty much in no man lands. If the bus is dead leaving Washington, then I can imagine it'll be dead at Whitby personally and the same people will return using it as it'll just be a confusing bus to anyone else who are looking for the X93 / Train depending on how they travelled there since they're chocka in the Summer with people changing at Middlesbrough.
