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.

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.
Sometime in 2008, Yorkshire Coastliner will be replacing all of the single decker WrightBus Eclipse Urbans and some of the older double decker buses with 10 new double decker buses. This will mean the whole Coastliner service will be run with double deckers by summer this year.
