Coastal & Country have purchased Mercedes Vario RG04DVL from Whirlwind Travel (Blackpool). This replaces Vario PG53SXU which has been sold to Solus Coaches.

Coastal & Country have gained service 99. This route will operate as the EVH (Esk Valley Hopper) on certain days and extend to Danby Moors Centre. Seen here operating the route is VW Crafter LG61SBX, which was previously a demonstrator.

Coastal and Country under the MYBUS banner not only have taken on the 99 but they have also taken on town services in Whitby, seen here on a break in Whitby, away from the hustle and bustle of the main centre of town. Posed with the display for the 99 (not actually on the 99) is the vehicle acquired for the town work, E200 Dart MX14FUT.

It's a shame they're cancelling this service, it was pretty busy the last time I was on it, although nearly all free passes.....

To make matters worse, as part of spending cuts the Coastliner 840 may no longer operate between Thornton-le-Dale and Whitby during the winter months.

Not an operator I know too much about (if anything), but spotted their E200 looking smart the other day.
Ditto a coach working what looked like a Whitby Town supporters working, through Sleights.

What will x162 fbb be used on

(23 Feb 2016, 5:19 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com wrote What will x162 fbb be used on

I am told it will be a spare for the Town Tours but as its seatbelted I assume it can be used on any Private Hire or school work as required.

Coastal and Country have a new ADL Enviro 200 registered YX16 ODE.

It's replaced the 14 plate which has left the fleet.
