(20 Jun 2018, 6:30 am)TyneWearTeesGNE So, will EYMS be attending bus rallies then?
(19 Jun 2018, 9:11 pm)Andreos1 I think it's inevitable there will be changes in the future, not just with liveries and 'names', but routes and depots.
Virgins deal with CYBG included a lot of clauses, some of which are in the public domain and place time constraints on use of buildings, staff redundancies etc.
Stanley agreed certain things when they were bought out too. Hence the lack of competing services for a number of years.
Being honest, I think we will see depot closures, route consolidation, fleet disposals, staff reductions and deals with other operators. Scarbrough operated by Transdev maybe?
I will predict this all happening in 3-5 years time, depending on the terms agreed in the contract.
Thankyou! Forgot about that site too.

They've attended the Teesside Running day the last two years. And they have their own Big Bus day at Hull.
Why would they want to get rid of Scarborough to Transdev?

Allocations from 20th June have been posted on the EYMS website: https://www.eyms.co.uk/enthusiasts/enthu...em?id=1509
- In addition to 308/309/314 as previously posted, 593 and 596 have been sold
- 584 and 585 have been reinstated at Scarborough (possibly only temporary to help out on Park & Ride with the upcoming Armed Forces Weekend on 30th June)
- 678, 783 and 785 all repainted into the revised East Yorkshire fleet livery

May as well give it back to Arriva/United.

I'm not suggesting that the Scarborough operations earn quite a bit, but I can imagine that it is with Hull (and possibly even Bridlington) in the depots that would be kept hold of.
The Park and Ride is quite popular (not sure how much revenue is kept by the company though), as are the summer 13, 109 (even with the competition from Shoreline Suncruisers) and Scarborough Skipper services. It does mean that there are a number of buses sitting around over the winter months doing nothing, but EYMS get around that by either transferring them to their coaching fleet or delicensing them until required the next year.

Not sure how up to date it is, but fleet list includes previous owners for some of the vehicles.
May help build up background info on NEB fleet lists

(18 Jun 2018, 6:15 pm)Kuyoyo Just a few for the fleetlist
Scarborough's B5TLs 804-6, as well as Pocklington's 808, have now lost their 121 branding following the split at Bridlington. B9TL/E400 722-6 have had their '120/X20' branding slightly amended, with the 120/X20 removed but the 'Scarborough Filey Bridlington' destinations retained.
Also of note, B7TL Open Topper 886 has 'East Yorkshire' logos with branding for Bridlington Open Top service 100.

I can't find in the news, though this is relevant here. Bus journeys in Hull have decreased by 4.6 million in 8 years.

Edit, though I've just realised this is a thread for 2 months ago!

That explains why YX14HDZ has turned up at Saltmeadows for a repaint, it was the vehicle painted in Park and Ride livery for Bridlington, though oddly it was displaying Scarborough and District fleetnames which it wasn't carrying when I photoed it last Summer.

Hull tour cancelled and bus transferring to Scarborough to make skipper every 30 minutes.
Bridlington P&R was won by stagecoach back in December on a 5 year contract. 385 was repainted white and Transfered to Scarborough. Scarborough Borough Council were going to rebrand the P&R, that's why everything is white.
