Bus named after York legend, Barry Parker.

Coastline has named one of its buses after the great York football commentator Barry Parker. Barry, who is also known as the Voice of York City, retired at the end of this season after a career spanning over 40 years. The bus was unveiled outside the LNER community stadium with Barry and his friends at BBC Radio York. 

The bus has Barry's name above the door and the number is 3643. Barry said “The incredible thing is, I travel regularly on the Coastliner service between Leeds, York and Scarborough, so I’ll almost certainly end up getting on ‘my’ very own bus!
