But it also depends on what vehicle they're using, if it's a coach, there's toilets. If it's 6377, there's tables.

You'll never have both though . Mind I can't see many families using it anyway tbh. You'd have to be pretty mad to think it's a good idea to do a 6 hour round trip via public transport to Scarborough to go to a beach when you can travel via bus or Metro to Seaburn, Seaton Carew, Redcar, Sandburn, Whitley Bay, Tynemouth, South Shields, Seaham and get pretty much the same thing in under an hour from anywhere in the North East.

Makes sense from York and Leeds, not so much from here. Then you have the problem with people wanting to stay over not having a return journey unless you sit around all the day with cases waiting for a bus until 4pm / 5pm after being kicked out your accommodation at 10am or you can pay the extra £5 or whatever it'll be and just get an explorer and change at Boro.

Can see this being mostly pensioners personally and adults who can't / don't want to drive going out for the day, no doubt mostly to Whitby rather than Scarborough.

One journey I could see being very popular though (but it'll be full of arseholes) is a Scarborough OAT special service which times you to get down at around 5pm then returns at 11:30pm but have it at a premium price.
