Yorkshire’s Coastliner 840 has been named the winner of the virtual ‘World Cup of English Bus Routes’ in a recent online contest

The route, which runs between Leeds, York, Malton and Whitby, beat off competition from dozens of bus services across the country, including the Isle of Wight’s Needles Breezer open top bus route to be named England’s finest.

Yorkshire’s Coastliner 840 has been named the winner of the virtual ‘World Cup of English Bus Routes’ in a recent online contestA way to attract business after COVID-19

Over 2,000 people voted, while high-profile support for the service came from Welcome to Yorkshire, the Yorkshire Post, Minster FM and Yorkshire Coast Radio.

A way to attract business after COVID-19

It is hoped the victory will attract more passengers as lockdown restrictions ease and visitors return to the White Rose County.

Coastliner CEO Alex Hornby says: “Coastliner has again been named the nation’s favourite, and no wonder – there’s a lot of love for the service and for our amazing team who make it the success it undoubtedly is.

“We know from the many positive comments we receive from our customers all year round that our Coastliner 840 bus is the ideal way to see two great Yorkshire cities, the North York Moors and the beautiful coast, without the stress and hassle of driving or parking.

“Over the last couple of years our Coastliner service has been transformed, with amazing new buses packed with customer friendly features, including free 4G wi-fi, USB and wireless charging points, audio-visual next stop announcements and comfortable coach seating.

“This wonderful win is ideally timed, as we begin our journey beyond lockdown and gradually welcome customers back along the route. As travel restrictions are eased, we look forward to seeing visitors old and new take a seat with us and enjoy the grandstand Yorkshire views which make Coastliner a worthy World Cup winner.”

It is not the first time the bus route has won recognition for its beauty – in 2018, it was named ‘Britain’s most scenic bus route’ after an online poll of over 15,000 voters.

andy burnham tfgm £15.6 billion (1) The funding announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves today (4 June) has been allocated to several combined mayoral authorities to use on rail, tram, road and bus infrastructure. Transport for Greater Manchester revealed today that part of the £2.5 billion it will receive will go towards making the Bee Network fully battery-electric by 2030. An as-yet undecided portion of that will support a planned investment in 1,000 new zero-emission buses over that period, the mayoral authority said. That is part of plans to build the UK's "first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system", with trams and trains also set to benefit. Liverpool City Region's already announced BRT system is among the projects to which its £1.6 billion will be allocated. Under those plans - due for realisation by 2028 - a high-speed network will be served by articulated buses which are modelled on the 'Glider' in Belfast. It is due to link Liverpool city centre with John Lennon Airport, and Liverpool FC and Everton FC's respective stadia along three routes. Although the model of bus has not been confirmed, a Van Hool Exqui.City on loan from Belfast was last year used as a demonstrator. That 18m vehicle can accommodate around 30% more passengers than a typical bus and has three sets of double doors. The funding will also go towards buses elsewhere in the city as the region heads towards franchising services by 2027. Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram with a 'Glider' which was on loan from Belfast last year - an example of the sort of bus which could serve the new BRT Bus services in the East Midlands region will be boosted by the funding, thanks to the £2 billion handed to it today by the government. Some of that allocation will be used for a rapid transit network on the Trent Arc between Nottingham and Derby. Between the two cities, the Freeport, Infinity Park Investment Zone and Ratcliffe-on-Soar will also benefit from the improved bus services. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's newly announced commitment towards bus franchising has been boosted by £350 million in funding as part of that region's allocation. The funding for West Yorkshire will help build new bus stations in Bradford and Wakefield. Likewise, the Tees Valley Mayoral Authority will put its sum towards a new £15 million bus station in Middlesbrough. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says: "Today marks a watershed moment on our journey to improving transport across the North and Midlands – opening up access to jobs, growing the economy and driving up quality of life as we deliver our Plan for Change. "For too long, people in the North and Midlands have been locked out of the investment they deserve. With £15.6bn of government investment, we’re giving local leaders the means to drive cities, towns and communities forward, investing in Britain’s renewal so you and your family are better off."
