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]
