As expected, the Sweyne Coaches operated Goole+Howden Hopper/J36 service received a revised timetable recently, with the start date for the amended provision being Wednesday 11th June - exceptionally unusual for a Monday to Saturday service to be amended midweek.
Out goes the frequency of every 25-50 minutes with occasional longer gaps, and in comes a new timetable with services every half hour off peak daytimes (except for a lunch break), approximately hourly at peak times and every two hours in the evening. I haven't had chance to review how this impacts rail connections, but certainly for local travel, it's a much more simple and memorable offering.
The aim of the new timetable is to reduce the reliance on public subsidy, so hopefully the revised timetable as well as the fare increase introduced at the same time will help achieve that.
