As part of the 360/1 tender, EYMS also took on the Sunday 400/1 between Goole and Selby on Sundays from September. Operated by Elloughton depot, these journeys are interworked with short 361s between Goole and Swinefleet. I’m not sure whether EYMS have served Selby on a regular basis before, though the incongruity of a maroon bus running in the shadow of the town’s medieval abbey is probably reduced by the recent rail replacement operation which temporarily brought the company’s vehicles to the area.
Today's vehicle wasn't maroon, but of the indigo variety normally seen on the Hull-Goole routes. Of the five non-deckers allocated to Elloughton, only Solo 420 carries standard fleet livery, though this had not prevented B7RLE YX10EYS (367) being allocated today, as this view, which sees it leaving Selby around ten minutes late on the 12:20 400 to Goole, demonstrates. With nothing on the destination display, no paper alternative and an alien livery, passengers could be forgiven for any confusion caused, particularly as the service is provided by Arriva on the other six days of the week.
Tollcross: The name is assumed to derive from a crossroads where payments were collected from travellers entering the city, and the earliest reference to 'Tollcross' dates from 1439.
The ironwork pillar clock has been one of the city's landmarks since 1901. It was gifted by Lord Provost James Steel and was one of four similar clocks made by the Edinburgh clockmakers, James Ritchie & Son.
Originally a weight-driven pendulum clock, it was altered to a spring-driven mechanism in 1926. This clock and the one formerly at the city's West End were the largest street clocks in Britain to be driven by this type of mechanism. Weekly winding would be done by a clockwinder employed by Ritchie's using a crank handle inserted into the base, but in 1969 it was converted to an electric mechanism located between the dials.
Junction improvements at Tollcross in 1974 (including the closing up of the underground gents toilets) led to the clock's removal, causing public consternation, and it was later returned to this spot, very near to its original position. The new building to the rear belongs to the Bank of Scotland.
Seen on a sunny day Volvo B9TL Wright Eclipse Gemini2 no. 367 (SN11 EBX) works as usual on Service 23. The fleet group 366 to 380 are staunchly to be found on this route with deviations rare.

EYMS Volvo B7RLE/Wright Eclipse 2 YX10EYS (367) seen passing the Cave Castle Hotel entrance in West End while working the 13:15 Hull-Goole X56.
The X56 was introduced Monday last week as part of changes which saw the withdrawal of the 156, cutback of the 155 and extension of the express services west from Gilberdyke to Goole. The X55/6, which are now the main services on the Hull-Goole corridor, operating hourly when combined, are split at Howden to avoid tachograph regulations, hence the blind used. They are branded as the Petuaria Express, taking the name from a Roman fort which stood on the site of modern day Brough, with vehicles used on the services painted in EY's traditional indigo and primrose livery. All three, those being this one, 368 and sole diesel Trident 778, are based at Elloughton depot following the changes, originally the X55 was completely operated by Hull though this changed when 367 was transferred to Elloughton in July last year.
At the moment, the X55 misses South and North Cave, serving Newport and Gilberdyke instead with the X56 doing the opposite however due to complaints (or "feedback") from passengers who previously enjoyed two buses per hour all buses will serve Gilberdyke from the end of the month.
