Its pathetic compared with similar tourist/coastal areas elsewhere in England. For example the Stagecoach services out of Exeter all the way to Sidmouth, Seaton and Lyme Regis.

You'd almost wish someone else would run an express bus from Newcastle to Seahouses and Bamburgh in a similar fashion to the X11

Perhaps it's due to the driver shortage this year - running extra "seasonal services" whilst failing to operate all your normal local services for your regular passengers might not be something that Arriva wishes to do.
