Friday and Saturday Evening Withdrawals in the Bridlington Area

Friday and Saturday evening services were cut in Bridlington from the start of June, with the withdrawal by East Riding of Yorkshire Council of Bus Service Improvement Plan funding for the evening services on routes 504 and 513 due to "low" usage. Both services are operated by East Yorkshire Buses. The affected journeys operated for the last time on Saturday 30th May 2026, having commenced on Friday 2nd February 2024.

On service 504 from Bridlington to Bempton via Queensgate, Marton Road, Bempton Lane, Darwin Road and Buckton, this meant the cessation of the 1900 from Bempton to Bridlington and the 2310 from Bridlington that extended beyond Bempton to Flamborough village, Thornwick Bay Holiday Village and North Landing. Daytime journeys, including the weekend Bus Service Improvement Plan funded services, were unaffected.

The last service 504 departure from Bempton is now at 1600 Friday or 1512 Saturday and from Bridlington Bus Station at 1530 Friday or 1640 Saturday. Marton Road and Bempton Lane have departures from Bridlington Bus Station up to 1930 with service 12, and in Summer Marton Road also has service 13 operating until 2105. The last service from Bridlington to Flamborough is at 2135 on route 14. From Bridlington to Bempton, the last Northern Rail service departs at 2103. So whilst alternatives exist for early and mid evening travel, not so for the withdrawn late evening journey.

Service 513 previously provided an hourly evening circular service from 1830 to 2230 from Bridlington Bus Station via the West Hill Estate, New Pasture Lane, Bridlington Old Town, Westgate and Brett Street back to the Bus Station. The two hourly Sunday daytime service continues to operate.

Limited early and mid evening alternatives remain via 'main road' services that go close to the West Hill and New Pasture Lane estates. For West Hill, service 41 has departures from Bridlington Bus Station at 1845 and 1955 on Fridays, and at 1825 and 1950 on Saturdays. Services 12 and 13 mentioned above serve Scarborough Road by the entrance to the New Pasture Lane estate,
