I don’t often get to the Yorkshire Coast. So a day in Scarborough made a pleasant change.
The weather was warm, sunny and dry and the town was very busy.
The main local operator is ‘East Yorkshire Motor Services’ although they use the title ‘Scarborough & District’ on buses that are based in the town.
Their main and long standing competitor comes in the shape of ‘Shoreline Suncruisers’ Both are very active in the open top market.

There is always a variety of touring and day trip coaches in a place like Scarborough so here are a couple that I thought interesting.
