The open top double decker buses that work along along the seafront in Scarborough have been a feature of the town for many years.
Provided by ‘East Yorkshire’, now part of the ‘Go-Ahead’ group and ‘shoreline suncruisers’, their collection of elderly buses have long been part of my summertime visits.
