My 3 year old son is obsessed with all things steam so we all took a trip with Elizabeth. Great fun and interesting history behind it. A credit to the hard work the owners put into it. :-) More

The wedding couple had hired Elizabeth to transport their guests from the centre of Whitby to the wedding venue (Cross Butts). A novel way to arrive, even if it's not the fastest! More

A trip to Whitby is not complete without a ride on Elizabeth. We were so impressed by the overall experience we have recommended it to all our friends and family. That this vintage steam bus has been lovingly restored and is run commercially by Vern and his family is wonderful. Keep up the good work. More

We were looking to kill a little time in Whitby before checking into our accommodation and came across the Steam Bus. We were told the ride took around 15 mins and that suited us perfectly.
