The bus may be more scenic but sitting in comfort speeding through to York at 125mph then a gentle 45 minute meander on one of TPEs nice new coaching stock just sounds far more relaxing. Perhaps a nice glass of wine or a beer on the way back. Just civilised!
One aspect which could be interesting here is a sell through ticket with EYMS to get you to the various Parkdean and Haven campsites (though this probably only works with a coach operation from the North East end) or block book with Britannia who own most of the large budget hotels down in Scarbados - book your budget Britainnia hotel break (get a free rabies jab and travel to Scarborough included)
It's a bit of a stretch calling a Britannia a hotel!
I don't really find trains that comfortable, they're too floaty for my liking! As for having a glass of wine or beer, being on a bus never stopped anyone on the X21! Some absolute tramps came over to my table, took my empty coffee cup and attempted to pour a bottle of Lambrini in it!
