Is 718 definitely off in to EY livery or is their a new variation for the RAF/Poppy branding? Or is this not known yet?

No problem. I'm sorry I am unsure at the moment if it is going into fleet livery or a new variation of the poppy branding.

Who wants to take a guess which bus is going to be next, my guess is 720. Then that is all the 72x done.

Yes, they do. The numbers are 271/272/273/275 (painted in old EYMS colours), 8274 (ex-274) became a NHS Vaccination Bus.

Wrong, all but 1 are delicensed. 8274 is in use as a NHS bus

365 is in the paintshop, nearly done. 718 is still in the bodyshop receiving paint works
375/377 have been relicensed to Hull to replace 382/3/4 which move to Scarborough

Service x5 registration is cancelled from the 10th of April. I can't say i am surprised to be honest as it was hardly carrying anyone.

Im not certain about those. According to bus times they are but there's currently nothing on Notices and Proceedings about those two

That means is that it has gone through the Traffic Commissioners Open Data. It's just delayed going through N+Ps.

718 is repainted into standard livery. 359 and 202 are currently in the bodyshop.
So is the 45/A being completely withdrawn? That’s very bad!

As I understand it the 45 will be running to Holme on Spalding Moor and not up to Driffield. Unfortunately low passenger numbers on that section of the route have caused its withdrawal. I believe the council is tendering for a replacement service.

As I see it, service 18 and 46 are the same. 45/45A should not run to Holme-on-Spalding-Moor unless it is replacing the 18 or 46.
Looking at the route maps on bustimes.org for the 18 and 46 I can't see how they are the same. To me they run via completely different routes and just share the same start and end points.

Yes they run completely different routes and not all of the 18s go to Holme on Spalding Moor

Is there an opportunity to redeploy the ‘EastRider’ vehicles from the 45/45A to the 121? It seems odd to me that the 121 hasn’t had an upgrade to EastRider when every other main long distance route has.

There is only one Eastrider bus at Bridlington. I am told by management they want to upgrade both the Coaster routes and the 121, however there is currently nothing on order nor will anything be ordered before July at the earliest
That is a great shame. It means Bridlington will have nothing but north-south connections by both bus and train and no viable public transport link to York. Also the villages between Driffield and Market Weighton will have nothing. I hope decent replacement is arranged. I can see why, if they aren't going anywhere else, the 45 might as well go to Holme on Spalding Moor, it will save one bus compared to going to Bridlington. But the current timetable provides resources for a school contract in the morning (before the first 45A to Bridlington) and in the afternoon (between 14.59 at Driffield and 16.20 at Pocklington) so it is pretty efficient now.
When the infrequent 845 run by Yorkshire Coastliner was withdrawn, I’m sure they advertised the EYMS 45 as providing the York to Bridlington link instead. But if this is going there will now be nothing, passengers would have to travel via Scarborough

Interesting. It seems they just stuck a '1' before '45'. They do that all the time.
Well that’s good but it will probably make York to Bridlington pretty much impractical- except maybe via Scarborough? Any idea what level of service this might be?

I wonder how many passengers on EY long distance routes actually pay a fare rather than using a pass. For me, they really need to look at lowering prices to get bums on seats. For instance, if I took my partner from Hull to Bridlington for the day, it would take the best part of 2 hours on the bus and cost £25. We can drive in 50 mins, park for free and it costs less than £10 in fuel. Unless you are travelling free, the bus really isn’t an attractive prospect. The same applies from York/Pocklington/Market Weighton etc
