East Yorkshire 764 - YX09 GWK

Birthed out of EYMS route 6 on Sunday the 27th of July 1986 in the run-up to deregulation on, after nearly 40 years of continuous service, at long last, the 66 is dead: long live the 58! Referring back to the November service changes announcement, the most significant of East Yorkshire's service revisions comes in the form of multiple routes being renumbered to create an 'Anlaby Road Lines' network. The logic, so speculation goes, is that Hull City Council wants a group of routes so that passengers can easily get any bus that comes to and from Anlaby Road, staying on at their own whim to the ultimate destination. To me, even if I have my reservations about the 66, I see the idea in theory, but it feels like a bit of unnecessary meddling from the council. The 66 is a recognised route, after all! The 58 just doesn't have the same ring to it.

 

Seen as November visibly draws in - and such, so does Remembrance season - at Hessle Square, East Yorkshire's 764 (or 20764 as it will likely be in new money), a 2009 Volvo B9TL Wright Gemini 2, takes on passengers ahead of another run on a 66 back to Hull Interchange.
