I can understand, to a point that not many people were making the full through journey and one has to question just how many will make it when travelling on the new arrangements? We can only wait and see.
At a Public Transport forum in Skelton in February, a representative for Arriva told the audience that the demand received through feedback from passengers was higher than the current demand. So I guess there are a lot more people who want it to go via Redcar and Saltburn than currently use it from Skelton?
I for one can see the attraction of a coastal service and I bet it is well used come the summer, in both traffic to and from Whitby.
