More buses between York, Beverley, and Hull from 2 April

Local bus operator, East Yorkshire, will be increasing the number of daytime buses between York, Beverley and Hull from Sunday 2 April 2023, with buses in some areas doubling during the week and Saturdays.

The company’s Service X47 will change to compliment the Service X46 between York and Hull, continuing to serve Barmby Moor and Wilberfoss to replace the current Service 46. Additionally, the route between Beverley and Hull will change to run via Beverley Road instead of Cottingham, similarly to the Service X46.

These changes will mean that buses per hour between Pocklington and Beverley, Market Weighton and Beverley, Beverley and York, and Hull and York, will double, ensuring that passengers in these areas are better connected. Plus, departures will be better co-ordinated, running up to every 30 minutes, meaning customers will be able to get to where they need to be quicker without waiting too long for a bus.

Stuart Fillingham, East Yorkshire’s Head of Commercial, said: “Increased connections between Hull, Beverley, Market Weighton and York has always been a popular request from our customers, so we’re very pleased to be able to make this change to support their lifestyles – whether that be work, education or leisure travel.

“We’re also glad that our customers will be able to benefit from quicker journeys into York when compared to the 46, giving them a chance to better explore this marvellous city, as well as better connections to its railway station.”
