East Yorkshire Motor Services, now part of Go-Ahead

[YorkRailFan]

B5LH 20829, formerly of Go North East, has entered service and is in the latest East Yorkshire livery.

Temsa HD13 YD75WOX is new for coaching

I heard the deckers are going to be streetdeck either new or old model, but are the singles going to be the gb kite electroliner or the bzl

The singles are Wrights as well so will be the GB Kite

Hopefully EYs own coaching livery but we will have to see, its clearly dealer stock with being allover white

Tricky to read the reg plate on the video, but pretty sure this one’s with Procters, in their usual white with blue fleetnames. See video on their FB page:

I believe there is one going to Fourways, I've not heard Esk mentioned

A very sneaky change I've noticed is to North Riding 80. When EY took over the service in April 2024, the link from Raskelf into York would now run year-round instead of the college days only that it did under Reliance.

Looking at the timetable for services today, as I intend to use the 80 today, it appears that the link from Raskelf into York has now been cut during the school holidays. This leaves Brafferton, Helperby, Tholthorpe, Flawith and Aldwark without a bus service during the school holidays. Whilst it doesn't surprise me that this happened, as it was the case for years, East Yorkshire didn't mention this in their service changes notice for changes last September.

North Riding
North Riding 80 (Rasklef - Linton - York - York College)

Timetable revised for punctuality and reliability.
On college days, college journeys will now terminate at Askham Bar Tesco for York College.

Service Changes from 31st August 2025

I understand that it may not be deemed viable to run this link year-round, but not outlining that in service changes is really poor. Tracking data on bustimes for today also shows that buses are now starting/ending in Linton-On-Ouse instead of Raskelf.

An oversight to be sure.

In school hols, don't they terminate in Linton? Just checked bus times, getdown (who haven't picked up on the Sch/SH distinction) and NYC and they're all showing Linton as the start/finish.

When East Yorkshire took over the service in April 2024, they said the Raskelf service would continue to run throughout the school holidays, it just wouldn't serve York College and Askham Bryan.

This half-term is the first school holiday since Reliance operated the service (as the 29) in February 2024 that the service has terminated in Linton. This must have been part of the timetable changes in September, yet wasn't outlined as this is the first school holiday since the changes.

Here's the statement from April 2024 when EY took over the service:

The first journey, Monday to Friday, from Raskelf will start at 0700 and run through York College. It will begin at Raskelf and 0700 on non-college days but terminate at York Station Road.

The 1630 journey from York College to Raskelf will operate all year round, but on non-college days, it will start at 1700 from York Railway Station. This will provide commute options for Helperby, Tholthorpe, Flawith, and Aldwark all year round.

Hello North Yorkshire!

We're looking forward to welcoming our new customers from 8th April as we start our new services in partnership with North Yorkshire Council

Goodbye to year-round commuting options from Helperby, Tholthorpe, Flawith and Aldwark using the bus then!

Sorry - I think you may have misunderstood. I was referring to your comment on the tracking on bus times that "buses are now starting/ending in Linton-On-Ouse instead of Raskelf." That would be the case anyway until the evening run?

I somehow doubt that there were many (any) people in the four months of operation who fancied braving the commute with a load of college students, which is why they made the change. They should've mentioned it - smacks of an oversight rather than anything more sinister.

Ah sorry, I was referring to the morning service only starting in Linton, instead of Raskelf.

They should've mentioned it - smacks of an oversight rather than anything more sinister.

Oh I don't think it's anything sinister, I just find it really poor that it's not mentioned. I've already said that I understand the link isn't viable, after all, for years there hasn't been a year-round link, but it really should've been outlined by East Yorkshire!

A shame they've gone for Electroliners with their teeny tiny upstairs windows

My memory might have got this wrong, but I think it's the 56/57/58.

 

[Eyersey468]

51, 56, 57 and 58 once all 27 have arrived

Will any of them be route number branded for these routes?

Perhaps they knew from experience that nobody was getting on in the holidays so nobody would be inconvenienced by not knowing about the change!

That's the point. There were a few workers that did. Probably not any more though.

Sorry I haven't heard anything either way as to whether they will be or not

I see today, service 13 has ended for the winter, leaving tourists waiting at bus stops, and big camp site departure day tomorrow. 2 days two early it looks like, bit of a mess up by eyms it would seem.

Could say the same about the few students who used the 80 to Askham Bryan, but EY mentioned in the service changes post that the 80 would no longer serve the College. It doesn't excuse EY not mentioning however!

I believe today should've been the last day, coinciding with the end of the school holidays.

That would have been the sensible thing to do, but the North Yorkshire Council notice gives 2 November as the start of the winter timetable.
Unfortunately East Yorkshire appear to have mucked up the registration, as both their website and bustimes show the summer timetable continuing indefinitely ... but no buses have tracked on the 13 today, which suggests that NYC's info is correct.

I stand corrected on my original comment, EY published the following for April service changes:

From Saturday 5th April
Service 13 will commence operation on Saturday 5th April between Scarborough and Bridlington via the Holiday camps and Filey until Saturday 1st November.

March and April 2025 Service Changes

We're making some changes to some of our services from Saturday, 29 March 2025.

The reason for that is the working week at EY for local drivers goes from Sunday to Saturday

 

[Bayum]

Couple of comments on our local Grumbler about Go Ahead not allowing you to board towards Deighton Bar if you are heading for Leeds. Any reason this might be?

 

[LucyP]

Why would you? It's going in the wrong direction and so is a totally separate journey. Deighton Bar is the end of the line, coming from Leeds for the X98 which always goes to DB and the X99 that sometimes does. You would have to pay again for the new journey, commencing from DB into Leeds. Surely you would just wait for it to come back from DB on it's way back into Wetherby when it is heading to Leeds?
