From 1st September, EYMS are introducing two new Monday to Saturday services.
The 34 will link Holme upon Spalding Moor to Market Weighton, with connections onto service X46 for Hull, Beverley and York. The services operates hourly in the morning/early afternoon, with later afternoon journeys on a Saturday. It is not the first time such a link has been tried - back in 2002, East Yorkshire Council funded a very similar weekday service, the 740, also operated by EYMS. Since that ended a Friday only service by Thornes Independent has been the only link from Holme to Market Weighton.
Meanwhile the new 242 service provides one journey into Beverley in the morning from Hedon, with a lunchtime return. The service also serves Preston, Sproatley, Bilton and Skirlaugh amongst other villages en-route. Between Skirlaugh and Beverley the new service is similar to Monday and Wednesday service 241 from Aldbrough, and the departures from Beverley are only 4 minutes apart.
No information is provided if the services are commercial or tendered, though I suspect the later.

Yes it is tendered.
Also from 12 Sept Pearsons coaches will take over the running of the 173/4/5 on a Saturday. No idea if they plan to run all the way to Hull or fares
I would expect the 173/4/5 will continue to run thorugh to Hull since it is their main purpose to provide shopping and commuter links to Hull. Would make Pearsons Coaches the only independent operator with a registered local bus service in Hull I think.
