The village of Ellerker in the East Riding of Yorkshire regained a six day a week bus service penetrating the village (as opposed to serving the outskirts) on Monday 21st July. The Brough/Elloughton/South Cave local service 558 - operated by East Yorkshire Buses - was diverted via Ellerker on it's three South Cave journeys; these operate as an Elloughton-Ellerker-South Cave-Elloughton loop, before and after providing links around Elloughton and Brough.
It is worth noting however that whilst three journeys are provided, Ellerker passengers effectively only have one service into Brough, and once service back, able to spend 65 minutes shopping at Brough Aldi, or slightly longer at Morrisons (assuming passengers alight/board on Elloughton Road or Skillings Lane). There is a bit more flexibility on a Wednesday and Saturday, thanks to the afternoon service on route 143 providing an alternative later return option from Brough to Ellerker.
Whilst there might not be much flexibility provided for Ellerker passengers, it's better than just the 143, and the 558 serving the village can be achieved in marginal time.
