Monday 21st December to Christmas Eve:

Normal services, except for CallConnect and First South Yorkshire who will be operating a Saturday service. Services will finish at approximately 2000.

Boxing Day:

Daytime services will operate on selected routes in Hull and East Yorkshire. 

This year, as opposed to special timetables, Stagecoach have opted for a Sunday service between 0900 and 1800 on all 'local' routes within Hull, which results in a notable uplift in Boxing Day services:

• The 1 and 2A in West Hull go from hourly last year to half hourly this year.
• The 6 operates for the first time on Boxing Day, albeit in part serving as a replacement for the 10a.
• Sutton Park goes from one bus per hour last year on service 8 to three across services 2A and 8.
• North Branshome goes from an hourly 10a last year to a half hourly 2A and hourly 6 this year.
• The 12 goes from hourly last year, as the 12a, to half hourly this year.

The 11 drops from a half hourly 11a last year to hourly this year, but service 8 provides a second hourly frequency over part of the route.
