The Beachcomber is a pair of open top bus services operated in Bridlington and Scarborough during summertime by East Yorkshire.
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]
For the 2023 and 2024 seasons, East Yorkshire confirmed the return of both the Scarborough and Bridlington open-top routes, with similar timetables to previous years and the same branded Wright Eclipse Gemini vehicles. [8]
The Bridlington service travels along the coast to Flamborough Head. [9] The Scarborough service also follows the coast, travelling from The Spa in the south to the Sea Life centre in the north. [10]
