History
The Beachcomber brand was launched in 2019, coinciding with the purchase of eight second-hand Wright Eclipse Geminis.[1][2] The Scarborough open top service previously operated as route 109.[3][4] The Bridlington service previously operated as route 100.[5]
The services were suspended during the national COVID-19 lockdowns, but returned in July 2020.[6] For 2021, service frequencies on both routes were increased, and the Scarborough route was extended.[7]
Routes
The Bridlington service travels along the coast to Flamborough Head.[8] The Scarborough service also follows the coast, travelling from The Spa in the south to the Sea Life centre in the north.[9]
