The Leeds-Whitby route is being reviewed due to falling passenger numbers, operator Transdev says.
A campaign has been launched to secure the future of a North Yorkshire bus route dubbed Britain's most scenic.
The services diverge at Malton, with the 843 then going on to Scarborough while the 840 crosses the North York Moors through Pickering and on to Whitby.Kel Pizzuti, general manager for Coastliner, said the company faced a decline in customer numbers and a drop in government funding. "We are reviewing future arrangements for this section of the route with the county council and, in partnership with them, we will update customers once the review is complete."
Mark Witherington, who runs an antique shop in Pickering and who started the petition calling for the 840 route to be saved, said it was vital for rural communities."They are totally reliant on that bus to get out and do the shopping or go to the hospital, doctors, or even go to work."
