As expected, Acklams Coaches have exited the local bus service market. They gave up their Beverley and Driffield area work last October, and ceased operating their final services on Friday 14th July - the tendered 131 and 504 in Bridlington. The 131 is a workers service from Bridlington to the Carnaby Industrial Estate, whilst the 504 is an off peak service from Bempton, Buckton and North Bridlington into Bridlington Town Centre; both services operate Monday to Friday only.
From Monday 17th July, East Yorkshire took over both services, with the timetable looking to be unchanged on each route.
Acklams Coaches continue with their extensive coaching operation, as well as school and college contracts and a Hull City football service.

Now East Yorkshire its not a patch on the friendly service we had from Acklams,most drivers wont give you a hello or thankyou and they wont stop at some of stops even though it is supposed to be a unchanged route
The joys of large commercial operators
Whilst EY may not be a patch on other operators I think we should remember that without EY Bempton and Buckton wouldn't have a bus service.
And the 131 to Carnaby was initiated by EYMS in the days of Sara Lee and ran a workers service from 04.00 to 01.00 the following morning.
