EYMS in York in the 90's

[holland1987]

Does anyone know more about East Yorkshire operating services in York in the mid 90's.

I remember Skipper branded Iveco's in service and they had many school contracts in York using VRT's mostly with the odd Olympian here and there.

Were these buses Pocklington based ?

Recall EYMS operating a service to Bradford, always seemed to empty when it went through Armley

Using coaches or double decker's ?

Wasn't that a shoppers special service? And to answer your question Holland they used Coaches.

Did they use Roe Doyen Tiger's ?

It was always a double decker when I saw it (Bristol VR I think) and I'm pretty certain it had a 74x series route number, so I don't think it was shoppers service but an more like extension of a Hull-York to Bradford

They operated a Leeds service in 1996 using stagecoach livered buses for some uknown reason. They painted a Prisma up.

Again been said before, a joint venture of Stagecoach/EYMS which jointly operated the "Ridings Express".
Funny enough i re did something from the old days yesterday:

282's blind displayed fair old bit, so set me back a tenner which isnt bas considering but can display likes of Leeds for the X62 and Harrogate.

Is this bus meant to be scrapped or has it had an accident ?
