Strangely enough though, the Go Anywhere fares do not cover their full network. Ripon and Boroughbridge are left out for starters, as is Easingwold and the villages east towards Helmsley. Half of York, with the Y12/Y14 to Woodthorpe and buses up Holgate Road mostly cut out. That's before you consider the Procters services in North Yorkshire as well. Hopefully this is rectified.
If you go by the validty map yes, but I just think it's out of date as it still includes south of the Humber where EY no longer operate. I used a Go Anywhere app ticket from Ripon last year and the ticket machine accepted it. The EY map for the Hull Card products is also not accurate.

Interesting, hopefully they'll update it as part of these changes. Does anyone know if the Go Anywhere app ticket is valid on Procters services in North Yorkshire?

What’s happened to the launch event today, no electrics on road, no news on the event at all

Does anyone know what has happened to 20397?
According to bus times, it did a half day on Tuesday 17th and hasn’t been out since

The final of the 4 Evoras for Go Ahead West Yorkshire has started tracking on Procters services in Northallerton. BU75 WDM - 21069. There also seems to be a 21072 that tracked earlier this month in Withernsea...

Should be. Proctors web site when you click on a timetable link now takes you to the East Yorkshire site rather than busimes and fares are one of the pominent links.

Strange situation going on with the M1 services - the timetables which are now able to be picked up show an 8.45am departure from Hull as do the Moorsbus website.

However, the EYMS site and bustimes both show 9.00am and also show an afternoon layover when the M3 becomes the M1 for home

I am sure that both can not be right

Looks to be mistakenly showing last year's M1/M3 times on bustimes and the EY website

Someone was asking about the electric launch upthread. Just found this:

Hull's electric bus fleet unveiled ahead of route launch - BBC News https://share.google/saBjLWuhRPwQIUCHI

A fleet of electric buses have arrived in Hull ahead of their launch in April.

The 27 buses will serve East Yorkshire Buses' routes 56, 57 and 58 across Hull, Cottingham and Hessle.

The buses, which went on display at The Deep on Tuesday evening, would help cut emissions, reduce noise and deliver a cleaner and more comfortable journey for passengers, according to Hull City Council.

Matthew Ashton, managing director for East Yorkshire Buses, said the investment came about due to a "shared vision" between the bus company and the local authorities.

He added: "These new electric buses will make a real difference for our customers and for the dedicated drivers and colleagues who deliver our services every day, providing a smoother, quieter and more comfortable experience for everyone."

The buses have been paid for through a £16.5m joint investment, secured under the Government's Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas scheme.

The funding was awarded to a partnership between Hull City Council, East Riding of Yorkshire Council and bus operator East Yorkshire.

The city's other bus provider, Stagecoach, will also be launching 42 electric buses, which will come into service this spring.

My understanding is 20305-8 will go to Scarborough as replacements for the 4 19 reg MMCs that were transferred out for North Riding work
E200 MMC 20308 has moved from Leeming Bar to Scarborough and had vinyls removed. Rumours that all Evoras to enter service on X98/X99 from today permanently.

East Yorkshire has registered a Wolds Explorer 200 service commencing service on 29 March: https://www.vehicle-operator-licens...registered-local-bus-services/details/642435/
The timetable is live here: https://www.eastyorkshirebuses.co.uk/services/EY/200?date=2026-03-29&direction=outbound

Very last minute and to my surprise, but great to see. It would've been ideal for this to have been announced earlier though to promote the service ahead of its relaunch tomorrow.

The Spurn Explorer 72 service is also restarting with it being in service today seemingly. The timetable is live here: https://www.eastyorkshirebuses.co.uk/services/EY/72

== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: ==

Go Ahead West Yorkshire will be taking over the 615, 616, 619 & 633* from First from 17 May and will be launching a new website/app separate from East Yorkshire. There's also mention of the 633 going to a clockface hourly service, a direct hint at First's AI timetables by the looks of things.

*Evenings and Sunday service to be provided by TLC Travel

Go-Ahead West Yorkshire is pleased to announce that we will begin operating bus services in Bradford from Sunday 17 May 2026.

We are incredibly proud to have been selected as the preferred operator for these services and are excited to get started, delivering reliable, high-quality transport for customers across the Bradford district.

New Services

From launch, we will operate the following routes:

633: Shipley Market Square – Bradford – Tyersal (Monday to Saturday, daytime services)
Evening and Sunday journeys on this route will continue to be provided by our friends at TLC Travel.
615: Bradford Interchange – Bell Dean Road – Allerton – Cottingley – Bingley – Mornington Road – Eldwick
616 & 619: Bradford Interchange – Bingley – Mornington Road – Eldwick
These services are currently operated by First West Yorkshire. Under Go-Ahead West Yorkshire, timetables will remain broadly similar, ensuring continuity for passengers, with a number of enhancements.

Service Improvements

We are introducing a range of improvements, including:

Additional journeys during morning and afternoon peak times
Adjustments to the 633 to better align departure times at consistent intervals each hour, with some peak-time variations
Timetables Coming Soon

Full timetable details will be available online and in print shortly, so customers can plan ahead before services begin.

A New Digital Experience

We are also excited to announce that a brand-new Go-Ahead West Yorkshire website and mobile app will be launching soon.

As we transition Go Ahead West Yorkshire from the EY Buses platform, the new website and app will continue to offer all the journey planning and service information you expect — along with new and improved features, including:

Mobile ticket purchasing
Enhanced journey planning tools
Real-time service updates

Evidently there is space at Fourway's depot for more buses. I wonder if they'll get cascades from elsewhere in Go Ahead or some dealer stock buses for the services.

I think these new Evora’s are replacing the E200 MMC’s

Great news that the Wolds and Spurn Explorer's are back. I can tell you from my work that its' not unusual for council's to be very late confirming contracts and funding, sometimes after the original start dates, and East Riding is well known for it, so that's likely what's happened here. Any future funding for bus services will come from the Hull & East Yorkshire Combined Authority so will be interesting to see what changes.

Not great for EY promote the services before they start though. I wonder how many people were actually onboard the Spurn Explorer today and how many will be on the Wolds Explorer tomorrow with such late information and no promotion.

Not many used the Spurn bus when I used it one weekend last year on a day with reasonable weather, in fact I was the only one on by Spurn Point.

Yes, the MMCs were just a stopgap on the X98/X99 until the Evoras arrived to provide the much needed capacity.

I had similar experiences on the Wolds Explorer, I used it three times last year and was the only person onboard each time.

Thanks for this @KHCT - As per earlier posts, I'll be using this to complete the Yorkshire Wolds Way sometime this year.

I used it once and I too was the only one on that did the full trip from Hull to Spurn although, to be fair, quite a few people did fill it up on the return trip

Judging by the registration, you've got until 27th September to use the Wolds Explorer this year.

No tracking seems to be available for the 13, 64, 99, 165 or 520 as of yet, but is working for the Spurn and Wolds Explorer, hopefully this is rectified soon.

---

Go Ahead West Yorkshire E200 MMCs 20305, 20306 and 20307 have transferred from Leeming Bar to Scarborough, joining 20308, now that all 4 Evoras are in services on the X98/X99.
