Throwback Thursday…
The first low floor buses for the Hull area were several batches of Optare Excels introduced by East Yorkshire for Hessle or Willerby to Hull routes. A personal favourite of mine, the single deckers saw service on most of Hulls routes and saw additional service from the majority of East Yorkshire’s depots, in particular Scarborough.
Seen leaving the Anlaby Road depot in September 2013 is Optare Excel L1150, 292 leaving its Home Depot for Hull Interchange to start its day at work.

Seen operating the one weekly East Riding council contracted 173 service back to Withernsea is @stagecoach_updates_eastmids @alexanderdennislimited Enviro 200MMC 26264, making a lovely contrast for photos along the Holderness villages compared the urbanisation of Hull. Stagecoach seems to be gaining a lot of contracts with EYRC, operating a Hornsea school service to the north, the 173 pictured above to the east and Driffield to Sledmere 7DR.

The first Hull depot vehicle to be painted into the new 2020 Stagecoach livery is 10745, seen here in what I believe was its first day in service!

So pleased to say that available exclusively at Big Bus Day and therefore before the shops (including online) is my book ‘East Yorkshire Buses!’
The book features 96 colourful pages with over 180 photographs, showcasing every vehicle type and livery the fleet has to offer! The book also includes interior and rear view photographs, something often forgotten in these books!
Can’t wait to see you all there!
Whilst Hull has loaned out some Enviro 400 MMCs for the huge Silverstone circuit shuttle contract, a few surprise loan vehicles have arrived from other ‘local’ depots. One of the three double decker loaned (and one of two from Worksop) is Scania Enviro 400 15175, seen here on the 14 to Bilton Grange despite its branding for regular run on the 77 between Chesterfield and it’s Home Depot.
From Friday 7th October Stagecoach East Midland’s Hull depot began strike action in-definitely, commencing on the day the famous Hull Fair begins and could potentially remain out until the 29th December.
The drivers, alongside unite the union are asking for £13 an hour, but Stagecoach state that if they was to accept this then drivers wouldn’t get the increase until May next year.
The union is also commenting that other depots in the Stagecoach fleet, in particular Liverpool and Grimsby are on a particular higher pay then the Hull staff and display their unfairness of this on various campaign boards when striking outside the Foster Street depot or the entrance to Hull Interchange.
The strikes hit right at the beginning of the infamous Hull Fair, which is Europe’s largest travelling fair, opening around Walton Street just west of the city for a week every year. It draws thousands of people year on year and is also Stagecoach Hull’s busiest week, with extra double deckers usually coming from other East Midland depots to support the increased operation, with services from the East of the city being extended to the fair, alongside an enhanced Park and ride operation from the Priory Park site, and exclusively for Hull Fair, the Humber Bridge car park was also utilised, with buses returning from the fair serving Priory Park before continuing to the Bridge. However, due to the strikes, Stagecoach subcontracted the park and ride services out to look operators Acklams and Ellie Rose, with the later using ex East Yorkshire Volvo B7TLs and passengers boarding having paid in the terminal first with Stagecoach tickets been issued!
Day to day services are also Hugh key affected, with most key services in the city operating every 30 minutes and hourly on Sunday, with several contracted and school services been temporarily run by other local companies. However the 173 Saturdays only service from Withernsea to Hull via the local holderness villages is not currently running.

Usually found on this regular route 77 between Chesterfield and Worshop, Scania powered Enviro 400 15175 heads to North Bransholme on a service 2. Still feels weird seeing a 2 come into East Hull, the service being merged with Service 10 last year to form a new cross city service from the East of Hull to the West.

Dennis Trident / ALX400 18338 has come from Gainsborough tor a weekend away and seen here along Bricknell Avenue on a 3 to Orchard Park. I did manage a better shot but unfortunately it was too blurry! Dangers of photographing in the sun! Now only this had frequento branding! Still, good to see one of these back in the city!
A December 1975 photo - WMPTE ex Hull 1155 (2355AT) approaches the junction 10 (M6) / A454 traffic island working from Walsall to Wolverhampton. At this time the 29 service was crew operated and the bus would be working from Bilston Street garage, Wolverhampton.
Walsall's power station was located at Reedswood.

I think that the use by WMPTE of an ex Hull Leyland Atlantean on the long service 79 was quite rare.

Spent a few (albeit rare) spare time catching up with some repaints or those buses where I’m not happy with my stock picture! Only have 30 to go now!
Turning into Woodlands Drive whilst heading to Swanland is MCV bodied 387 on the 153 service! Love this this turned out tbh, although the first one didn’t catch the destination display!

WMPTE 168N (GJW168C) a 1965 ex Wolverhampton Guy Arab / MCW has number plate problems AGAIN. This is June 1978, where it has a half-hand painted (GJW) and half reflective (168C) plate - well it's better than carrying the false registration number KJW168 that it did a few years earlier!
It passes Ex Hull Atlantean / Roe 1156 (2356AT).

Judging by my size this must have been taken in the mid to late seventies at a rally, I've no idea where. I developed my love of buses at a very early age and I suspect this is 3747RH, now enjoying life in Tony Blackman's heritage fleet.
