The former United Automobile Services Valley Bridge Bus Station in Scarborough – 11 Aug 1994 (236-1)

Thursday 11 August 1994 – The former United Automobile Services Valley Bridge Bus Station in Scarborough. The clock on the wall would have heralded the departure of thousands of buses and coaches in its time.

Once the vast bus operating area of United stretched from the Scottish Borders down to Bridlington and the company had a garage and bus station in Scarborough. The company also operated the town bus service network. When the National Bus Company re-organised the Scarborough area services during the latter part of the NBC era United’s services passed to East Yorkshire Motor Services/Scarborough & District. The United presence in Scarborough then became quite limited.

The three large bus companies that served Scarborough which became NBC owned (East Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and United) once had their own separate bus stations in the town. The bus services that remain today use kerbside bus stops.
