Stagecoach in Hull Service 10 - i.e. the city circular - sees more changes from Monday 3rd September.
The main route change sees a revised route in East Hull between Bilton Grange and Hull City Centre. Instead of following the current route from Hopewell Road via Holderness Road, arguably duplicating a large part of the 52, the 52 will now operate via Marfleet Lane and Hedon Road into Hull City Centre. This reintroduces links between Wilberforce College and the Preston Road area, and establishes a link to the future industrial development planned along Hedon Road - suggesting Stagecoach are taking a long term view. I've expressed my reservations as to if the 10 is really needed at all before, but this change does at least offer something new, and removes some of the duplication of the 52 that the current route provides.
There are some timetable revisions related to a change in opening times at Andrew Marvell School and Wilberforce College.
Clockwise additional weekday journeys run at 0710 from North Point to the City Centre and at 1435 from Hull to Orchard Park, filling a 60 minute gap in the otherwise half hourly frequency on this section. The 1705, 1735 and 1805 from Hull to Orchard Park are extended to North Point, but the 1405 to North Point is curtailed at Orchard Park Tesco.
Anticlockwise on weekdays there is a new 0748 from North Point to Hull City Centre, the 0900 from North Point to Hull will start at Hedon Road and the 0905 from Marfleet Lane to Hull wil now start in Hull City Centre, operating as a 'full circular'. The 1445 from Hull to Bilton Grange is extended to North Point and there are new 1515 and 1545 journeys from Orchard Park to Hull, filling a 90 minute gap in service. There is also a new 1725 from Hull to North Point, but the 1815 from Orchard Park to Hull is withdrawn.
One other interesting change sees the 0715 clockwise circular service from Hull, and the anti clockwise 1600 from Wilberforce College back into Hull operate via Smith and Nephew, Hessle Road, Askew Avenue, Fiveways, Calvert Lane and Spring Bank West and Chanterlands Avenue, rather than Newland Avenue and Hull University. This is to serve Wilberforce College students, but operates every weekday including college holidays.
The only Saturday change is the withdrawal of the 1745, 1815 and 1845 from Orchard Park to Hull.
