Yorkshire Coastliner 451 (YJ05 FNK) at Malton – 15 Apr 2007 (569-33)

Sunday 15 April 2007 (approx 1240) - Yorkshire Coastliner was formerly part of the Blazefield Group which is now owned by the French company, Transdev. Their services linking Leeds and York with the coastal resorts of Scarborough, Whitby, Filey and Bridlington are operated from their garage in Malton which also features a small bus station. The property had originated with the West Yorkshire Road Car Company. As a boy when we travelled on the joint WYRCC/Ribble service X192 between Rochdale and Scarborough I always looked forward to the call the service made here.

451 (YJ05 FNK) Wright Eclipse Urban bodied Volvo B7RLE new in March 2005), is seen outside the Malton garage.

The company operates 6 single deckers (all new March 2005) and 14 double deckers. Ten of the double deckers are Wright Eclipse Gemini bodied (four new March 2004 and six new March 2006). The remaining four double deckers are Plaxton Presidents (one new 2001 and three new 2002), all on Volvo chassis. So, it is a very modern, and all low floor access fleet.
