YX08FYB 728 East Yorkshire Motor Services
After ditching sunday service 18A, EYMS notified local councils that from early May they were going to withdraw service 18 as well meaning there would be no service to York from Bubwith, North Duffield, Thorganby etc, but Holme on Spalding Moor would be served by some 46 services being re-routed. An interim timetable is being used for the time being with EYMS still running the 18 but with just a single vehicle - the first journey of the day coming from the depot starts at Holme whilst the last journey of the day leaving York goes all the way to Holme as the bus then goes back to the depot, but all services in between terminate short at either Bubwith, North Duffield, or Wheldrake and East Riding council then uses one of their fleet to fill in the gap.... A longer term solution is expected soon though, and I wouldn't be surprised if the result is that both services going through Wheldrake are then run by the same company.
Waiting at York Station Rise is Volvo B9TL Wright Eclipse Gemini YX08 FYB which has the final re-routed 46A of the day and runs to Pocklington then to Holme on Spalding Moor as a supplement to the 18 service - the last journeys to HOSM on both the 18 and 46A depart York within just a few minutes of each other.
