Yorkshire Coastliner
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yorkshire Coastliner is a bus company based in Malton in North Yorkshire, England. It is owned by the Blazefield Group (itself part of Transdev) who also own, amongst others, Harrogate & District and Keighley & District in Yorkshire.
Its distinctive blue buses provide a regular service between Leeds, Tadcaster, York and Malton, and also serve the coastal resorts of Scarborough, Whitby, Bridlington and Filey, as well as the popular inland town of Thornton-le-Dale on the North Yorkshire Moors National Park.
[edit] Fleet
Earlier this year the company became 100% low-floor when 6 Volvo B7TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini entered service, they intended to have 7 of them but the last one was diverted to Harrogate & District as a replacement for the Volvo B7RLE single decker on the 36 (Ripon-Harrogate-Leeds). But Yorkshire Coastliner still got a fully low floor fleet, as a replacement for the diverted bus came from Harrogate & District, which was a Plaxton President-bodied Volvo B7TL (441, Y711HRN), it has been refurbished and repainted into the 'new' Yorkshire Coastliner livery introduced in 2004 for the first 4 Volvo B7TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini. The company also has single deckers, 6 Wrightbus Eclipse Urban Volvo B7RLEs used on routes where double deckers cannot be used.
