Stagecoach Hull September Service Changes

Stagecoach in Hull have registered various service changes with VOSA from early September, covering the following registrations:


  • 1/2/N2 - Boothferry Estate

  • 28 and associated variations - Sutton Park/Bransholme

  • 31/31A - Interesting, the 31 hasn't operated for a few years now, but a variation to it has been accepted by VOSA. The 31 had in the past been a variation of service 30, operating via Leads Road

  • 32 and associated variations - Bransholme

  • 51 and associated variations - East Hull/Bransholme

  • 52/52A/53/53A - East Hull

  • 54 and associated variations - Bilton GrangE

  • 70/677 - Ferry Port/Cranswick FoodS

  • Humber Flyer

Meanwhile the 20/20W to Kingswood and Wawne is cancelled, but as ever there is always a chance it could be re-registered or amalgamated into other services. Also cancelled are the W1/2 college buses to Wilberforce College, which are passing to EYMS.


Finally a new (restarted?) 93M will operated daily at 2140 from Mecca Bingo on Clough Road to Orchard Park Hall Road.

Service 124, Pheonix Travel and Phoenix Buses

EYMS have cancelled and Pheonix Travel have registered the 3 day a week 124 service between Bridlington and Driffield from September.

VOSA - Bus Registration Search Results: "PB1054108/6 - VICTORIA ELLEN WEBSTER T/A PHEONIX TRAVEL, 2 ORCHARD COTTAGES, MAIN ST, NORTH FRODINGHAM, DRIFFIELD, YO25 8LJ
Registration Accepted
Starting Point: Driffield
Finish Point: Bridlington

Service Number: 124
Service Type: Normal Stopping
Effective Date: 07-SEP-2011
Other Details: Wednesday Thursday Saturday"

Two things of note here. First the spelling of Pheonix - mistake?

Secondly what, if any, connection is there between Pheonix Travel and Busking/Phoenix Buses? Both are registered in North Frodingham, but at different addresses. Phoenix Buses/Busking at 52 Main Street and Pheonix Travel at 2 Main Street. Any clarity on this would be appreciated.

I believe these are currently operated by Stagecoach in Hull. Certainly they were in September 2009, as I have a Stagecoach timetable leaflet for them dated 7th September 2009. This also included the W3 from Beverley and W4 from Hedon. Are these still operating? Will they be passing to EYMS? Or are they staying with Stagecoach?

350 and/or 360 changes

Could be something very minor, but changes planned to either the Stagecoach element of the 350 Humber Fastcat and/or the college day service 360 from September.

VOSA - Bus Registration Search Results: "PB0001484/3 - LINCOLNSHIRE ROAD CAR CO LTD, PO BOX 15, DEACON ROAD, LINCOLN, LN2 4JB
Variation Accepted: Operating between Scunthorpe and Hull given service number 350/360 effective from 05-Sep-2011. To amend Timetable."
