Routes

Fleet

In early 2006, the company became 100% low-floor when 6 Volvo B7TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini entered service, they intended to have 7 of them but the last one was diverted to Harrogate & District as a replacement for the Volvo B7RLE single decker on the 36 (Ripon-Harrogate-Leeds). Yorkshire Coastliner still got a fully low floor fleet, as a replacement for the diverted bus came from Harrogate & District, which was a Plaxton President-bodied Volvo B7TL (441, Y711HRN), it has been refurbished and repainted into the 'new' Yorkshire Coastliner livery introduced in 2004 for the first 4 Volvo B7TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini. The company also has single deckers, 6 Wrightbus Eclipse Urban Volvo B7RLEs used on routes where double deckers cannot be used.

In 2008, Yorkshire Coastliner replaced all of the single decker B7RLEs and some of the older double decker buses with 10 new Volvo B9TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini. This will mean the whole Coastliner service will be run with double deckers by summer this year.

The company has invested in these helpful destination displays. This feature is not found in any other company's buses for many miles.

Yorkshire Coastliner has satellite technology to each of its 20 buses, to track their vehicles' progress and keep passengers informed of any delays.^[4]
