I think u should contact coastliner and ask if they can celebrate by having a heritage livery. I mean paint one into the very first livery. Now that would be ace but we can keep dreaming.
Good luck with your book I am most certainly interested in this.

There is nothing to stop you contacting Coastliner if you feel that strong about a having a bus painted in a Celebration livery |

The Coastliner livery hasn't really changed enough to justify a heritage livery, unlike First and Arriva companies where the livery and fleet name is completely different.
The livery is still blue, the name is the same, there is still a wave design featured etc.

My copy of the book arrived today and I'm well impressed with it. Has a pic of every bus that appeared in the fleet past and present and also demos and ex coastliners in the other blazefield liveries like one of the Royales with harrogate and one of the k reg ollys in northern rose liveries. With it if u follow coastliner.

Always remember seeing the ECW Olympians when they first started working these services. I seem to remember seeing an EY variant in Leeds one Sunday morning in a similar livery on the 843 service but memory a bit vague?

This book is also available on ebay, from the same supplier. This may be a more straight forward transaction if you've already got ebay accounts etc set up. Just search for Yorkshire Coastliner. I've purchased my copy this way.

Purchased the Yorkshire Coastliner book at £14. A little disappointed - I expected to read more about these iconic routes from a driver's point of view and as a passenger. The book has lists of vehicles, but not in a clear order and basic technical details are omitted.
By all means buy if you are interested in Coastliner, but this is an expensive book in this format.
PS Sorry to be so negative, but did nobody proof check the spelling of Market Weighton on the back cover.

I thought that you may like to know that Chris Clarkson is working on a new Coastliner book. It will contain more detail and the illustrations will have been completely changed, but will not come out until after Coastliner have received their ten new buses. Hopefully it might coincide with the opening of the River Bridge which as you probably know collapsed after the Boxing Day floods last year.
