Stagecoach Hull - Service 20 - 24195 - FX10 AEF
On 5th September 2022, Stagecoach altered Park and Ride service 20.
Starting all the way back in 2017, Park and Ride service then known as 'PR' was routed to go via Hessle Road, Askew Avenue, Fiveways, Boothferry Road and Anlaby Road on a limited stop basis. Bus Stop flags were marked, as can be seen imaged, with the Park and Ride branded banner if included in the limited stops. The serviced offered an every 15 minute lifeline to the residents and commuters of Askew Avenue.
In September 2019, Stagecoach opted to change the 'PR' to have a number - 20, whilst also taking it away from Anlaby Road and Askew Avenue and instead operating it via Hessle Road in November. Stagecoach did leave service 22 via the Avenue between 1800 and 1930.
In October 2020, Stagecoach again changed the Park and Ride to run via the A63 and not Hessle Road, dipping to every 20 minutes too. Service 22 didn't return immediately pre-pandemic, leaving Askew Avenue with no service.
In September 2021, Stagecoach re-instated Park and Ride service 22, giving Askew Avenue four buses in the evening at 1825, 1845, 1910 and 1930 via Fiveways, Anlaby Road, Hull Royal Infirmary and City Centre. Buses did not return via this route though, again going via the A63, meaning the service was one way only on Askew Avenue.
This all changed again this month, as mentioned at the start of the post, with September 2022 changes.
Askew Avenue has again regained the Park and Ride service, but under the number 20 now with 22 withdrawn for Stadium event runs only. The 20 on Monday to Friday now runs via Askew Avenue, Fiveways, Anlaby Road, Hull Royal Infirmary and the City Centre (noticeably not Interchange) every 20 minutes between 0908 and 1328, with return runs to Priory Park operating down the Avenue between 0931 and 1321. The rest of the day's services operate the usual A63 route.
Interestingly, however, Askew Avenue receives a better Saturday service than Monday to Friday. With every 20 minute services all day running along the previously mentioned route, offering services from 0638 until 1948 into City Centre and 0731 until 1926 to Priory Park.
Seen here on its' second day of the off-peak re-route and passing an old Park and Ride marked Bus Stop Flag is Specialist livery Enviro 300 24195 on 20 to Hull City Centre.
What's next for the ever changing Park and Ride and Askew Avenue corridor? Who knows!
