Does anybody know the exact location of the Shoreline Suncruisers depot? After doing a bit of research, i can only find 'near East Ayton' and 'near Ugthorpe' but Ugthorpe is on the north side of Whitby so can't be up there. I just know it's not where the company is registered to (Stepney Drive).

So its a canny drive into Scarborough then! Not that i would mind if i was driving one of the Metrobuses.

Their new depot is near The Mere. You will pass it on the left if you are coming out of Scarborough on the Northern Rail service to Hull. I am awaiting a fleet list from the company but as far as I know, M414 UNW, 530 MUY, R945 YOV, Y472 NHK, Y464 NHK, V182 OOE and J400 SSB are currently in operation.

Is this a repeat of Howard Snaiths incident?

It had better not be...

I always said there was something not right about this company. They always buy second hand buses when they would normally be withdrawn by the big companies. There is some agreement with the council that allows them to run buses that are too old for use on public service. They will be hit by the incoming law that requires step entrance buses to be withdrawn.

How do you work that out? Most small companies buy stuff that has been withdrawn by big companies. Step entrance deckers are legal til the end of next year.

I think you'll find that with just about every independent operator who owns double deck vehicles. Weardale Motor Services and Nightgale Coaches both have a number of ex-Go North East Olympians.

But they are always buying second hand buses. They have never bought any buses from new. And they are running their services £1 per journey, any stop. Something up there, they can't be looking after their buses properly. Just trying to rival Scarborough & District. The buses are nice to photograph, but I'd ride on EYMS buses anytime compared to SS.

Not all bus companies can afford new buses.

Wish it was £1 per journey where i live...

Presumably by charging £1 they get more on. Been running plenty of years so must know what they're doing.

They only have the £1 'anywhere any stop' on their 777 service. It competes with EYMS (S&D) services 7/17 although it only does the Eastfield - Seamer Road - Scarborough section as opposed to the full loop.

I would get an Olympian for a quid instead of Prince Bishops solar anyday!

Under Section 17 of the Act the licence is revoked with effect from 23.59 hours on 10
December 2015.

EYMS will be happy...the competition is facing execution

There is still a chance that Shoreline Suncruisers might survive as I understand that the Commissioner has set the December date to allow them time to appoint a suitable Transport Manager.
If they find a competent Transport Manager before December 2015 I would expect the notice to revoke will be cancelled.
No doubt EYMS will be watching with interest just in case they have to step in on some services.

That and the fact it releases the competition on the 109, 7/17 (SS 777) and X20 (SS 555) although the X20 is the same as the 120 (serving Cayton village) operating between Scarborough and Filey only.

"The firm, which could have had its licence revoked, has been granted a three month stay of execution and won’t face any further action unless Tom Stephenson isn’t replaced within three months."

Shoreline Suncruisers have been granted a new licence for 13 vehicles. The business will now be able to carry on trading following the action to revoke their old licence from December.
