A number of small changes were made to co-ordinated Stagecoach services 11 (Hull-Ings Estate-North Point-Kingswood-Castle Hill Hospital) and 110/111 (Hull-Ings Estate-North Point-Kingswood-Beverley) from 31st August.
In the Kingswood area, both services now serve Runnymede Way, Runnymede Avenue, Barnes Road and Barnes Way, but not Kingswood Leisure Park - with the exception of the early morning and evening service 11's that start/terminate at Kingswood and which now use the Leisure Park to do so, as opposed to the Retail Park previously. Service 6 maintains an 'all-day' service to the Leisure Park.
Service 80 between Hull and Castle Hill Hospital has been renumbered as service 11A, which is very logical as it follows much of the same route as the 11. Personally I would have taken the opportunity to reroute the 11A to follow the 11's route in Cottingham; the 11A's route differences in the village are covered by East Yorkshire Buses. Maybe a good place to note that service 83, also following a similar route as the 11 and 11A/80, has become a 'closed door' service for Wilberforce College students, along with the 81, 82 and 85.
At an individual journey level, Monday to Friday the 1400 service 110 from Hull Paragon Interchange has been withdrawn, as has the Monday to Friday 1623 service 11 from Castle Hill Hospital, the later has ended in favour of the 1610 service 80 being retimed as a 1620 11A. There is a new later departure from Beverley Monday to Friday at 2325 on service 111, previous last service at 2242; the Saturday 2342 service 111 from Beverley is retimed to 2325.
Service 111 operates an hour later on Sundays, with the last departure from Hull Paragon Interchange at 1730 not 1630 (replacing the 1730 service 11 to Kingswood), and from Beverley at 1855 not 1755. Later on Sunday evenings, the 11 has gained a new 2130 journey from Hull Paragon Interchange, filling a 90 minute gap in the hourly evening service. On the negative side, the 2212 from Kingswood Retail Park to Paragon Interchange is withdrawn, leaving the last Sunday service back into Hull as the 2120 from Kingswood Leisure Park.
