Would it be a 'shuttle service' that's included in the ticket price for those that want to go up to Whitby, or will it be a separate ticket to pick up some extra passengers
Something for the bus/driver to do in the hope of picking up some extra pennies to put towards the cost of running it I expect. Scarborough to Whitby is after all the busier half of the X93 - not that you’d think it seeing the loads out of Mbro on a morning!
In regards to getting other vehicles in to operate it... simply not going to happen. Services like this is only going to be viable by utilising existing capacity in the fleet in quiet times, ie school holidays. It might be a flop, and only last one summer. Fair enough you might make a loss, but it’s not going to be huge.
Imagine if you’d bought a specific vehicle for it that you then need to find above for or sell on... that’s a huge cost put towards your service that you don’t need!
