To 'tyresmoke', sorry if I speak with a touch of scepticism and why will no pick up on what I say about the issue of connections between the 4 and 5 ? People have lost employment arising from this and Arriva won't respond.
I can't see much problem with the connections in Loftus to be honest, the only very long wait would be on a Sunday towards Whitby, which at 40-odd minutes is terrible.
The daytime connections are 15 mins towards Whitby and just 5 towards Guisborough (with the potential to 'chase' the 5 to Brotton of course, with the 5A just 15 behind).
Have to say having driven the 5 many times, the majority of passengers in Whitby were only travelling as far as Loftus and Brotton. I can fully understand the scepticism over the X93 though, but I am confident it will get sorted before the peak summer kicks in at end of May.
Can I ask what the problem with employment and connections are? Is it connections going wrong or just the length of journey time meaning you can't get to somewhere early enough??
