Running a direct service, perhaps just peak season, direct from Middlesbrough to Scarborough non-stop would alleviate the pressure on the service vehicles ; maybe even extended with a start in Newcastle?
And to Andreos. Yes I fully appreciate what your saying there. I assume it would be local
service and TTX before even getting near the
X93? A veritable nightmare.
WHOOPS! Nearly missed Adams post! In everything positive we can say about the service, that sort of experience is sadly an all to frequent part of life on the X93 and unfortunately not much we can do about it. A shame.

If it is the x9/10 - then potentially two buses (local and an x1) or a 4 to pick the x9/10 up at Heworth. Either way, just to get to a bus stop for the x9/10 would take circa 60mins.

Another option would be a bus to Sunderland and then an x7.
Or, a bus to Chester le Street and an x1/2.

So although getting to Middlesbrough is possible, to come back, we would need specific planning to ensure all connections were met.
Once a bus is boarded coming North, the connection options are instantly limited.
