EYMS 596
EYMS Volvo B7TL/Plaxton President PJ02RBV (596) seen as it crosses the derelict Pocklington Canal at Coates Bridge on the approach to Bielby with the 09:30 Pocklington-York 195.
The 195 operates a Pocklington to York via the villages round trip on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and a Newton to Pocklington and then Pocklington to York via Newton working on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There is also a Newton to York journey on Tuesday afternoons which is largely pointless beyond positioning the vehicle to operate the return leg of the Tuesdays-only 196 which runs between Aughton and York and serves several of the villages on the 195 route. Allethorpe and Thornton were added to the 195 in April 2014 when the two round trips on the 199 which operated between Pocklington and Thornton on Tuedays, Wednesdays, and Fridays were withdrawn. The majority of village buses in the Pocklington area have been threatened with withdrawal in April 2017 as ERYC attempts to reduce its spend on public transport.
Pocklington depot are currently allocated two Presidents, down from seven two years ago, the latest reductions coming as a result of lost Woldgate College contracts. 596 isn't one of the allocated number and is probably at the depot as cover for one of Geminis 697 and 701 which are both presently in Hull. It was one of twenty-two Presidents purchased from Go Ahead London by EYMS in 2012. Four of these, including 596, initially operated for Finglands, before moving to Hull when that operation ceased in 2014.
