East Yorkshire Motor Services, now part of Go-Ahead

[Eyersey468]

The Humber Fastcat bus is in being repainted into fleet livery at the moment. The 8 E400MMCs and Levantes that were due will now be coming later this year for obvious reasons.

 

[Eyersey468]

The first 4 of the 8 E400 MMCs arrived yesterday, they are YX20 OEB/E-G to be numbered 923/6-8

Having seen a tweet about the arrival of the new MMCs tonight from Martijn Gilbert, I have to say I’m very impressed. A very smart new livery (it’s nice to see the silly wavy lines have gone) and a smart new interior.

Looking at the comments on Twitter these buses will be branded for the X46 hence the different livery.

Apparently inspired from X-Lines.

The colours are nice but i dislike the template. The interior however is top notch!

We'll see when they get vinylled up, I'd not he so sure!

Someone has spotted one out on a training run, fully vinyled up

[NEW] East Yorkshire 'EastRider' 923 - YX20 OEB

WOW! I wasn't expecting to see this in Beverley! And to think I was not pleased with having to book it to Beverley once again in the first place - forget that, here comes a brand-new bus out of nowhere! And here finally, you can get a good view of the front end and all its new livery decals...

EastRider.... Must've taken hours of hothouse brainstorming to think that one up.

If you catch more than one, you’ll be EastRiding...

Bedum tish!

Perhaps the drivers should have Dennis Hopper style moustaches. Then again, he has a bad record with buses - two cine references there

The new E400MMCs have entered service on the 45/46 and X46/X47

East Yorkshire 922 YX20OEA

Route branded for the EastRider seen here turning into Piccadilly York whilst working the 10.57 X47 to Hull.

First day in service for these impressive EastRider branded buses.

They do look good. Looking at the promotional video they have put on Twitter for the new vehicles it looks like the bike space being half in the buggy zone when loaded.

 

[Andyh82]

Looks like 922-926 are branded for York to Hull with 922-925 based at Hull, and 926 based at Pocklington

927 & 928 are branded York to Bridlington and both based at Pocklington

This means half of the 45/46 will still be older vehicles

There'll still be some Evosetis on the 45/46, can't really use anything older on a regular basis as all buses in York are supposed to be Euro 6 now

929 will also be based at Brid for the 45, leaving just one older vehicle on the route, nominally an Evo Seti.

East Yorkshire has won Buses Magazine's livery competition this year

 

[Eyersey468]

East Yorkshire are making some service changes in January. The main changes are the x55 and 155 being replaced by the x5 and 55, the 76 and 77 being replaced by the x7 and changes to the 151, 152 and 153. Evosetis 798-803 are undergoing interior refurbishment for the x7. The x5 and x7 are in the EastRider branding. I'm told the intention is to revamp the Hornsea services 240 and 246 this year as well.

 

[peterblue]

Almost a 30 min saving from the previous X55 to the new X5. It sounds like an interesting and ambitious change to the region. Good luck to them.

New management wanted to speed the service up to Goole from Hull and put more buses into Gilberdyke to encourage more bus use there. When previous management changed the x55 in 2017 it killed demand in Gilberdyke and Howden

The X5 will also be operated by a coach.

It will indeed, one of the Levantes that has come off NX work

 

[Eyersey468]

Evoseti 798-800/2 are currently in various stages of their refurbishment, 798/9 I believe are nearly complete and should be back on the road soon, just leaving 801/3 as not done yet.

 

[Eyersey468]

Go North East 6118-21 are finally coming to Hull, 6118/9 arrived this weekend with 6120/1 coming next week. They will be numbered 794-7.
President 688 has also been written off following an accident, it has passed to Ellie Rose of Hull for use as spares.

It looks like the 55 will be getting EastRider branding, there is also rumours of the 121 and Hornsea corridor getting the branding over the next few months.

Also some older B7 Presidents will be going on loan to GNE.

 

[Eyersey468]

GNE 6120/1 finally arrived over the weekend. 671/4 have gone to GNE.

929 involved in a fairly serious accident yesterday just outside of Bridlington. From what I can see of the photos it’s a third party fault but imagine this may be off the road for a fair time.

Also appears 922 has temporarily been allocated to Pocklington

Also appears that EY have given up council tendered services 21, 50 and 51 from the end of this month.

I believe 929 has gone to Plaxtons for repair.
The 21, 50 and 51 have been taken on by Stagecoach.

For Stagecoach to take on the 50 and 51 they will need the use of smaller MMCs surely than what they currently have?

Yes they will need smaller buses, presumably they will transfer them from elsewhere.

Word is that the 5 Levantes that were meant to come for NX work have been cancelled.

4 ADL Enviro200s have been bought from Ensignbus. 3 are at Anlaby Road now the 4th is still to arrive. The ex GNE Gemini 2s are being numbered 794-7, 797 is currently in the process of being repainted. 343/4 are becoming training buses.
