Travelling from Hull to visit relatives at Newby, outside Scarborough, whether for a day or longer, provided an opportunity not only to observe and ride on United’s buses, but also to travel by East Yorkshire buses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe main attraction was United’s buses which were often in a state of transformation, from 1930s Leyland Titans to the forward-entrance Lodekkas of the 1960s. They were always well turned out in smart red-and-cream livery. Especially fascinating were the three variants of the center-entrance single-deckers which worked the seafront service. In summer, frequencies were intensive to serve crowds of holidaymakers at the attractions, especially near the Corner Café and on the seafront.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEast Yorkshire used 1930s Titans (some with new bodies), post-war Titans with ‘Beverley Bar’ bodywork, Bridgemasters and Renowns, while the West Yorkshire fleet had standard Bristol double-deckers and saloons, some with ‘Bible-style’ destination indicators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis selection of evocative photographs provides a flavor of a long-departed but not forgotten time on Scarborough’s buses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Motormedia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54461227467079,"sku":"9781398127562","price":9.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0902\/2609\/8503\/files\/9781398127562.jpg?v=1785342917","url":"https:\/\/motormedia.co.uk\/products\/scarborough-buses-1940s-1960s","provider":"Motormedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
