Even for Whitby it was doing X93 to Scarborough then train and that was neck and neck. Fares were a joke paying full price tho mind on the train.I was getting routed via York, at the time, so you might be right about maintenance. There were through buses to scabby, at the time, so x12 then x93 was about 3.5 hours.
Just checked Durham and getting the same now but things might've changed since then, possibly some engineering or something that weekend somewhere.
