Comment the nomination statement is misleading. This article is about a group of four related bus routes, not an individual one as stated, bringing into question how much attention has been paid to it and to whether any WP:BEFORE has been attempted? Thryduulf (talk) 18:07, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The sources are all from the bus company or the local council. --wooden superman 20:33, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article should be improved, not deleted. Garuda3 (talk) 14:11, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have added to the article, mainly using sources kindly provided by Garuda3, showing praise it has recieved for its scenery. harrz ^talk 21:43, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I think the sources presented here show that the Coaster routes (or at least route 12) does meet WP:GNG beyond routine coverage. Having a title "the best bus route in the world" evaluated by a national mainstream paper like The Times and noted as one of England's "most scenic" by another national mainstream paper like The Guardian [1] isn't something you see on your everyday bus route (unlike route 6 which is indeed non-notable).
