Tonight - Saturday 29th March (or to be precise, the early hours of Sunday 30th) - is the last night of operation for Hull's nightbuses. They were introduced at the start of December 2023 for an initial three months, funded from Hull City Council's Bus Service Improvement Plan allocation, and have lasted for sixteen months. Their withdrawal is very disappointing, but they have clearly be given sufficient time to try and gain sufficient custom, before 'pulling the plug'.
Impacted are the 0010 and 0110 departures from Hull City Centre on the following routes:
- Stagecoach 5: Hull City Centre to Kingswood Retail Park - last departure to become 2330
- Stagecoach 6: Hull City Centre to North Bransholme - last departure to become 2330
- Stagecoach 8: Hull City Centre to Bransholme North Point - last departure to become 2100 (or similar service 11 at 2330)
- Stagecoach 13: Hull City Centre to Bilton Grange - last departure to become 2330
- East Yorkshire 57: Hull City Centre to Asda Bilton - last departure to become 2325 on associated service 56
- East Yorkshire 58: Hull City Centre to Hessle - last departure to become 2300 (Stagecoach service 2 has a 2330 departure covering part of the route)
- East Yorkshire 104: Hull City Centre to Cottingham - last departure to become 2240 (Stagecoach service 5 has a 2330 to the Avenues, and East Yorkshire service 45 offers a 2310 from Hull to Cottingham)

I do wonder whether there was need for the night routes to take the exact same routes as the day time ones. I would have expected routes like the 104/5/6 to be put into one single route to make them more viable. Maybe like the old N125
