New “quad-decker” Coastliner to be trialed in Filey, Scarborough and Whitby
Coastliner buses from Leeds to Whitby, Filey, Scarborough and Bridlington are going to be capable of transferring twice as many passengers soon, with the introduction of the “quad-decker” Coastliner set to trial from March 2016.
The bus operator expressed it had seen a gap in the market for four-tier buses and expect them to encourage others to take buses rather than walk, cycle or drive anywhere themselves.
Quad-decker buses already operate in other parts of the UK, such as London, Norfolk and Slough and have proven to be very successful in promoting public transport.
Unfortunately, quad-decker buses are incredibly expensive to maintain and were nearly scrapped do to their monumentally bad safety record in London, which means fares are expected to rise five-fold to cover maintenance and accident claims.
Next time you take a Coastliner, it could be a quad-decker!

How will they fit under bridges??? Lol
gust of wind and that puppys gone
Bad idea I wouldn’t get on one
Are they fitted with lift
Windy days will not help . It’ll take 4x the time to fill so will take longer to get to a destination…. Bad idea

Sorry for not saying ,,,, I have been driving buses for 22years so yes I am aware of many many obstacles …
As I said BAD IDEA
A more regular service would be a nice start.
Looks higher then a street light, Could well hit the street light lol
Great idea that could revolutionise the sky hook changing business.
Haha it’s good what photoshop can do
dosent fit under bridges
is it april 1st
what a load of rubbish i like to see that on a skid pad
Photoshop. I can see the houses through the window on all decks!
High sided, unstable vehicle next to the sea winds? yeah right!
Silly hoax.
How will they fit under bridge or going roundabout
An impossibility! Any bridge in the UK that’s under 16 feet 6 inches has to be clearly marked. Every double decker in the UK must be a maximum of 15 feet. Most are no more than 14 feet 8 and a half inches which gives this ‘Quad decker’ 2 and a half feet to add another 3 decks or change every bridge markings country wide. My opinion of this is therefore ‘Bollo*ks’. 😉
and why would they have the bridlington sign on them all,they would only need the one a hoax
Keep your curtains closed ladies lol
Are they having a laugh !!!!!
Is it 1st April ?
Personal being a pcv for 10 years I’d take them for a drive and no doubt it’s gonna be safe otherwise it wouldn’t be on the road I’ve lived in leeds West Yorkshire all my life and I always like a challenge
you do realise this is photoshopped?
Coming into service on APR 1 then?
[…] were also amused by another fake this week: the quad-decker buses apparently launching in Filey, Whitby and […]
I put this on Facebook-it was a joke and intended as such!
I put tthis on Facebook originally-it is a joke and intended to be that way?
Come on where is this totaly not photoshoped bus then
Totally fake. The bus livery is screwed up across all 4 levels. One example is the route display, between the first and second floors, it shows the full route dispLay but between the second, third and fourth floors, Only the top part of thE route display is shown. Bus liveries are not like that. Also, the windows on the second and third floor are prEtty screwed up. The back is the fUll window size but the front is just half of the windoW size. The windows on the front of the bus across The second, third And fourth floors are literally the same.
Very funny. But it is clearly photoshopped.
Obviously fake, very bad photo shopped pic! Can see the windscreens are not aligned properley and the same reflection is cast on all the upper side windows! Was this aN april fools?
April Fool’s?
it’s photoshopped if you look at the windows you will see the same house with a chimney on the 2nd,3rd and 4rth decker’s window. lol the photoshopper should have just erased the chimney
THIS SHIT IS PHOTOSHAOPPED!
you can tell this is fake you can tell its been photoshopped because the same guy is on every deck how stupid are you
