And on that note, I've found this nice bit of potted history.

Even then these EYMS buses did not all go to the scrap yard, as both 517 and 995 were bought by a small operator in the north-east for further service. 517 is now preserved and was at EYMS’s 80th anniversary celebration at the Hull Streetlife Museum of Transport.

It's opened up another query though.
Which small operator in the NE got the two VR's?

(19 Jun 2018, 9:11 pm)Andreos1 wrote 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.

Why would they want to get rid of Scarborough to Transdev?

May as well give it back to Arriva/United.

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

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.

(11 Jan 2019, 2:32 pm)Dan wrote Volvo B9TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini 780 has received a promotional livery to show contactless payments being accepted on East Yorkshire's buses.

It will be returned to Hull tomorrow, in exchange for similiar 777, which will be repainted at GNE's Saltmeadows Road facility and branded likewise.

(12 Jan 2019, 4:38 pm)Deleted wrote Arrived back in Scarborough around 11:30. It should have been 761 that went North but not sure if it was changed for 777.

(22 Feb 2019, 12:02 am)Rapidsnap wrote 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.
