Coastliner York Scarborough recent customer reviews
The journey to Scarborough was fine, but the bus didn't arrive for the journey home. We had to get the train, which was very annoying, because I'd already paid for the bus.
Geoffrey W.
Terrible. The driver didn't pick me up. I was crossing the road when the bus arrived and although I waved my hand to ask the driver to stop, he totally ignored me.
Hamed A.
I enjoyed the journey but was worried that my bus coming home might be cancelled. Many other buses did not run and huge queues built up. I was with my 6-year-old granddaughter. I am unsure whether I'd risk the journey again if we find the bus we intended is not running. Having booked online and lost my concession as an old aged pensioner, do I have the advantage of being notified if a bus I have booked is cancelled?
