According to the interactive map for route 80 on the East Yorkshire website, there are no stops along Richmond Road and Seaton Road, with the nearest stops being in Beverley Road Hessle or First Lane. So unless this is a ‘hail-and-ride’ area, it seems this change will inconvenience nobody, while benefiting anyone wishing to travel from the stops in Sunningdale Road and Cottesmore Road to Anlaby, Willerby, Cottingham, Beverley, etc.
The 80 is indeed hail and ride in that area, with many less mobile passengers getting on and off along Richmond and Seaton Roads.
I have long seen drivers struggling down there, particularly when one of the longer wheelbase single deckers is used. I have often thought that the route would best be servced by short wheelbase vehicles. Now it seems the problem has been solved in a less positive way.
Thanks for that. Apart from Hessle Town Service 183, I hadn’t realised that there were any other hail-and-ride sections on ' in the old ‘Haltemprice’ area.
