An express service to Northumberland coastal towns won't work, there isn't a much demand for a service to them places as the likes of Bamburgh and Seahouses don't have the same draw for people compared to Whitby and Scarborough.
As for drivers sicknesses / breakdowns, I'm sure it be covered from the Scarborough end by EYMS with no doubt a replacement vehicle from GNE meeting it halfway.
