Winter 2016/17 timetable

[stevieinselby]

I see that Coastliner have published their winter timetable ... well, maybe
www.yorkbus.co.uk/cmsUploads/route/files/CoastlinerOctober2016web-3.pdf

The weekday and Saturday pages throughout still say "from 27 March 2016" and the peak season journeys still gave the dates for summer 2016, but the Sunday pages say "from 2 October 2016", which is when the new timetable should start. But some of the dates on the Sunday pages relate to winter 2016/17 but others to summer 2016. And they are showing two journeys each way to/from Whitby without any qualifiers on the dates.

Is this an actual change, or just another almighty thingy-up like they did before, where they rushed out the timetable without any attempt at proof-reading? The dates all over the place lead me to suspect the latter...

There are just a couple of minor changes to the Sunday timetable from 2nd October, so the timetable is correct. There is no real summer/winter split anymore, with the core timetable running throughout the year, augmented by two extra bus workings from late May to end September.
i understand a new leaflet is in production, to coincide with the new buses/rebrand which will probably show the 2017 dates for the 'summer' extras.

Transdev have confirmed via Twitter that the timetable is correct, therefore there are Sunday buses to Whitby and Bridlington throughout the winter - that's great news and I don't know why they aren't making more of a sing and dance about it!

I suspect any singing and dancing will come with the new buses next month.
