Evening Peak 145 extended to Bridlington

From Monday (4th July), the Monday to Friday 1740 service 145 from Market Weighton to Driffield will be retimed to 1750, to improve the reliability of the connection out of the 1625 service 46 from York at Market Weighton. In addition it will be extended beyond Driffield to Bridlington Morrisons, via Nafferton and Burton Agnes. Between Driffield and Bridlington, the 145 departure from Driffield at 1824 fits in between the 1740 and 1845 service 121 departures. The evening peak 145 from Market Weighton is operated by East Yorkshire's Bridlington depot, so the extension is probably a cheap and easy improvement to make.

Service 145 is operated by East Yorkshire on behalf of East Riding of Yorkshire Council. The morning peak and Monday to Saturday off-peak journeys are unchanged.

I had presumed the ending of the service on the outskirts of Bridlington was a typo by East Yorkshire. If it’s true, especially If it’s funded by the council, then it’s a really surprising decision.

It’s the equivalent of the York to Hull bus terminating at Orchard Park Tesco.

Morrisons is the last stop before the Bridlington depot and so makes sense to terminate a probably empty bus there.
