In the early 00's I think there was a 2225 from Hull to Barton and return and 2210 from Scunthorpe to Barton and return that connected with each other on a Friday and Saturday. Then the later Hull-Barton shorts you mention 2017-Spring 2018 Mon-Sat, then Sat only until the pandemic. The 2330 from Hull to Barton returned as a 255 for a little bit until Wren changed their shift patterns.Humber Transporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08704677966009159426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-979801883485328355.post-80727483029554953732024-03-01T16:26:31.276+00:002024-03-01T16:26:31.276+00:00Several drivers I've spoken to about the late ...Several drivers I've spoken to about the late evening 350 enhancement proposals have confirmed that the proposals are to go ahead in April, although unsure of the exact date they take effect.<br /><br />It's nice to see something similar to what we had pre-pandemic restored, when the last bus from Hull to Scunthorpe was 21:20, but what has really caught my attention is the proposals for the 23:00 last service at both the Scunthorpe and Hull ends, those particular proposals seemed a little bit far fetched to me, and I would have thought that such a late service would be Fridays and Saturdays only, when people go for nights out, but it's fantastic to see it's a full six day a week thing.<br /><br />Lastly, please correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think that in the entire history of the 350 route there has ever been a full Scunthorpe to Hull or vice versa journey as late as 23:00, the most there has been anywhere that late were Hull to Barton short journeys?deadendwaterfallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16139737862320447923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-979801883485328355.post-50063205014334040982024-03-01T16:12:16.201+00:002024-03-01T16:12:16.201+00:00I was on that first run of the 07:55 350 as well, ...I was on that first run of the 07:55 350 as well, I got on at the Ashby extension part on Oswald Road and there wasn't a single other passenger on, I must have been the first ever one to use it.

I think Crosby used to have a service on Sundays many years ago, but long since gone, possibly roadcar days up to the early 00s when it used to run as an extension of the 336 via the Hosptial and around Portman Road.

'Willow Road' is probably a stop on Ferry Road in Goxhill near to the junction with Willow Lane, whilst I suspect 'Rail Station' is Goxhill Station. Hopefully a better public facing pdf timetable will be produced soon (and to be fair to Stagecoach, they usually do provide one).<br /><br />Extra Sunday 350 journeys look to be just the one round trip, 0755 from Ashby and 0930 return from Hull. Better than nothing, but a shame that the extra vehicle hasn't been used to fill some of the three hour gaps in the timetable later in the day.Humber Transporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08704677966009159426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-979801883485328355.post-79247295250397699932024-01-27T17:04:54.406+00:002024-01-27T17:04:54.406+00:00The new 260 timetable is available, for now it'...The new 260 timetable is available, for now it's on the same timetable as the current one so it's slightly messy. The extension to Immingham has caused a huge reduction in service.<br /><br />There are 3 or 4 trips a day in either direction, two of these being shorts to new Holland and back and two doing the full route to Immingham, via new Holland in either direction. If I have read the timetable right, it will mean people from Goxhill, East Halton and Immingham will have 45 mins in Barton before having to return. This means Goxhill has lost 5 departures to Barton. It appears it now omits St Chad, and only stops on the edge of east Halton. I stand corrected if I have read the timetable wrong.
