Be interesting to know how well they were looked after at GNE
The irony: replacing ex GNE buses temporarily with... MORE ex GNE buses!
Ello Spare?
My Mrs went on one of the ex hybrid B5LHs a few weeks back, don't know which one but she wasn't impressed
The fans are very loud. They also vibrate quite a bit and a dirtier than the EY Gemini’s
A quick guess is that its "North Riding by Procters" as its a similar style of branding on the printed 182 timetable leaflets that have North Riding branding and then Procters in the corner.Yeah, these have just gone up this month. Nice to see some effort put in, but bizarre that it still has the Procters logo next to the 53, not sure ‘North Riding‘ will mean anything to anyone in Northallerton, and the web address for East Yorkshire confuses things further. That particular stop is largely used by people waiting for the Stokesley service, seems a bit selfish for whatever Go Ahead’s operation in Leeming Bar are calling themselves this week to take it over for two journeys a day that no one would take because you can walk to the terminus quicker!
This morning, the 73 had the EYMS liveried decker and a GWY Evora on it. We just need Scarborough Locals for the full set
There are similar format ones in Beverley, they've been there for several months and feature EY services plus Stagecoach and HART. That said, when I travelled earlier in the week they hadn't been updated for the timetable changes earlier this month. Ironically the timetables in Beverley Bus Station are even more out of date than that and don't even list all the routes that serve it!
I've seen pictures of the latter, finally a 2025 paint bus thats not a B5LH that has the "your buses in the palm of your hand" thing at the back (the EVs don't have it, and i dont think 20388 got it, 20764 defo didn't for whatever reason, and 20919 has that "tired of looking at my rear?" decal.
Funnily enough in Helmsley, the Transdev 31X timetable has some errors. All EY journeys are correct but on Saturdays Transdev journeys into York are shown as the Kirkbymoorside times. The Saturday times to Kirkbymoorside are correct. Weekday timetables are correct in both directions. EY has a separate timetable poster for the 28 and their 31X journeys (not including Transdev 31X journeys). The Moorsbus poster in Helmsley doesn't show the 17:19 EY 31X to Kirkbymoorside on Saturdays but shows all other 31X journeys in each direction.
20824 has also been repainted, wonder how long until it enters service.
Hooray...! The old girl lives for another day and I look forward to seeing it out for service!!!
698 did some 54 and 104 runs on Thursday
Procters have now updated the data for the 53/73 & RS4 timetables, as have Fourways for the 212.
Sounds about right, says schools only in the office, nothing wrong with using it in service though as it’s well up to the job.
Without any context, I'm just guessing, but Goole locals have a G prefix, and lots of school contract routes have a letter in as well (eg 1W, 2W etc are routes for Woldgate School, L28 runs to Lady Lumley's, H* to Hessle High, *S are all Scarborough area contracts).
To add to this, BC* is for Bishop Burton College Services, C* is for Conyers School (Compass Royston service), HW* is for Howden School.
Only because they were prompted to do it..... Operators shouldn't need prompting to comply with the law.
There's quite a few data issues. There's some on the 747 which have been being reported for over a year but EY ignore them (hence previous comments about their data).
I believe the deadline for next stop displays being fitted is next month and the 07s and 08s won't be replaced before then
Atp the 05 and 55 will get them
I assume so seeing as it appears they are now hanging around into next year, though really given their age they are on borrowed time along with 348
The 31X errors on the Saturday timetable have also been reported to EY for a while now, its been a problem since September 2025 I believe.
The Ripon RS services have a North Yorkshire Council timetable leaflet https://northyorkstravel.info/timetable/RCsep26.pdf
Lets hope that they make sure they work right - 97 thought it was in Guisborough when it was, in fact, sat in Bay C in Beverley Sow Hill... It has also picked up the odd quirk blanking out the NSA display or the audio message repeating Pickering
Still notes Dales & District as the operator and not Procters or North Riding.
