Here is my annual summary of Christmas and New Year bus services across the Humber Region. It covers the following operators, but not their services outside the region:
- Arriva Yorkshire
- CallConnect
- East Yorkshire (see comments below)
- First South Yorkshire (see comments below)
- First York
- Grayscroft Coaches
- Hornsby Travel
- North Lincolnshire Council (Services 96/97/97A)
- PC Coaches
- Sweyne Coaches (Goole+Howden Hopper)
- Stagecoach
- Thornes Independent
- York Pullman
Sadly East Yorkshire Buses haven't produced their usual comprehensive summary listing all the 'exceptions' to the standard service pattern and I haven't got the time to go through all their timetables route-by-route. As such I can't offer the usual level of detail for them. Presumably it's a case of:
-Less than six day a week services operating as normal on the normal weekdays over Christmas and New Year
-Some extra early morning services.
-Friday and Saturday evening only services not operating Monday and Tuesdays where a Saturday service otherwise applies
I always say "Please check exact details before travelling as I have only summarised here, or for any occasions were publicity is incorrect, or I have made a mistake". That still stands, but is exceptionally important in the case of East Yorkshire Buses and also First South Yorkshire who have taken a similar approach.
If you have any information for other operators, or to correct any details listed below, please post a comment.
Monday 22nd and Tuesday 23rd December:
Predominantly normal services, with the following exceptions:
- East Yorkshire and First South Yorkshire will provide a Saturday service with some exceptions, please check with the operator for details.
- Stagecoach will operate a Saturday service on North East Lincolnshire services 7, 11 and 12. (Stagecoach's Grimsby pdf timetable states Saturday service on routes 1, 2, 6, 8, 20, 53, 250 and 251, but the Saturday service is identical to the Monday to Friday School Holiday service).
- Stagecoach service 255 (North Bransholme-Hull-Barton Wren Kitchens) will operate five journeys only, at 0700 from North Bransholme, 1705 from Hull and at 0850, 1750 and 2320 from Barton Wren Kitchens. I presume associated service 256 isn't operating, but the Stagecoach Hull pdf summary doesn't explicitly state this.
- North Lincolnshire Council service 96 (Barton-Brigg) will not operate the 1600 Barton-Brigg or 1710 Brigg-South Ferriby journeys.
It is interesting to see East Yorkshire and Stagecoach differ on service levels in Hull, they usually have the same 'base' provision but for two days Stagecoach will be a normal weekday service and East Yorkshire a Saturday service.
Christmas Eve:
Predominantly a Saturday service with an early finish between approximately 1700 and 2000, plus the following exceptions:
- Hornsby Travel, PC Coaches, Stagecoach's Scunthorpe services, Thornes and York Pullman will operate a normal Wednesday service with early finish.
- Stagecoach services 5/5M/5S/45 (Cleethorpes-Grimsby-Immingham), 9/10 (Waltham-Grimsby-Cleethorpes-Humberston), 11A (Hull-Castle Hill Hospital) and 20 (Hull Priory Park and Ride) will operate as normal. Afternoon 11A journeys replace similar timed service 11 journeys.
- Stagecoach will provide extra early morning journeys on selected services in Grimsby and Hull.
- Stagecoach Monday to Friday service 255 (North Bransholme-Hull-Barton Wren Kitchens) will operate four journeys only, at 0700 from North Bransholme, 1705 from Hull and at 0850 and 1750 from Barton Wren Kitchens. Associated service 256 will not operate.
- Stagecoach service 7M (North Bransholme-Hull-Melton) will operate four journeys only, at 0655 from Hull to Melton, 0820 North Bransholme to Melton, 1610 Melton to Hull and 1810 Melton to North Bransholme.
