The K10 is a tender so would think they would be renumbered in to the K network

EYMS have, in a great example of screwing with passengers, posted a news item that states the Sunday 18A service between York and Holme-on-Spalding-Moor is cancelled from the end of March, but noting: Monday-Saturday Service 18 will continue to run as normal with no changes to time.Unfortunately, there is some different news that they have not yet announced: www.vehicle-operator-licensing.service.gov.uk/search/find-registered-local-bus-services/details/516886/The Monday to Saturday service is cancelled in full from 5 May. It might have been kind of useful to mention that when stating that there are no changes to it.

Could it be being replaced by another service in some way? Seems strange it's about to be completely axed - never thought it was that badly used.

Could it be being replaced by another service in some way? Seems strange it's about to be completely axed - never thought it was that badly used. I would have hoped there would be ways to save it. At the moment, it uses 2 double-deckers to run a predominantly 2-hourly service improving to hourly in the peaks. That doesn't seem very efficient. If passenger numbers are low then could the service not be run with smaller buses that are cheaper to run? Or reduce it to a single vehicle? One bus could provide 4 return journeys (every 3 hours) between Market Weighton and York, or more if you shorten the route – cut it back to Holme on Spalding Moor, as it used to do before EYMS took it over in 2013, and you could get an extra journey each way. Cut it back to Designer Outlet for connections to York on the P&R and you could get another journey again. There is no adequate alternative service along most of the route. Holme on Spalding Moor - one journey a week (Monday only) to Selby Bubwith and North Duffield - one journey to Selby on weekdays, timed around the school run, and one shopper journey running on Monday and Friday only Skipwith and Thorganby - no other service Wheldrake - 3 or 4 journeys to/from York, off-peak only Part of the problem with the route is that it serves three authorities. Holme on Spalding Moor and Bubwith are in East Riding. North Duffield, Skipwith and Thorganby are in North Yorkshire. Wheldrake is in City of York. So for any one council, there are relatively few residents affected and no clear direction for travel. NYCC might consider Selby the most appropriate destination for their residents, ERYC might want to take passengers to Market Weighton for connections on the X46. York will certainly want its residents to be able to get into the city. So unless they can be persuaded to work together to secure a joint approach for the route, it's hard to see how it will end well. I suspect that a large part of the problem is the under-funding of ENCTS users, meaning that even a well-used route can struggle to pay its way if it is mostly pass-holders using it.

The revised 45/46 registration mentions Holme on Spalding Moor, so a partial replacement at least seems to be planned

Well that's good for people in HOSM, but doesn't do a lot for Bubwith, North Duffield, Skipwith, Thorganby or Wheldrake, so let's keep our fingers crossed for good news on that front as well. York to Bubwith could easily manage a 2-hourly service with a single bus.

The revised 45/46 registration mentions Holme on Spalding Moor, so a partial replacement at least seems to be planned Think the route description is still as present. The change is likely to be the curtailment of Market Weighton journeys back to Pocklington, as there will no longer be a need to work onto/off the 18s.

Withdrawal of the EYMS service to Holme on Spalding Moor service reported on Radio York this morning including the compulsory interview with a resident who will be unable to get to work. Might be one for Connexions to take on, and might not require any additional resources having seen X1s yesterday mid morning taking up far more road space than the combined passenger on board would occupy in a car.

itravel York have 6/5/18 18 EYMS Cancelled. 6/5/18 46 EYMS Route extended to Holme-on-Spalding Moor. So its the loss of service to the village en route that the press have so far missed rather than to Holme-on-Spalding Moor

I’m trying to remember how the 18 came about. Didn’t it used to be Transdev York? Up to ~2001, First York ran it as the 35, which had about 8 journeys to/from North Duffield, with about half of them continuing to HOSM (more than half on Saturday), which was run commercially. When they went Metro, the route was renumbered as 18, running to a similar pattern In 2003, the timetable was revised with most journeys running through to HOSM, giving roughly a 2 hourly service. In 2007, they trialled the Friday and Saturday evening service, which has remained in place to this day. In 2009, First withdrew their commercial service, and it was replaced with a subsidised service running to broadly the same service pattern, run by York Pullman, reverting to numbering it as 35 In 2012, Transdev York bought out the bus side of York Pullman, but made no change to the service pattern In 2014, after Transdev and the various councils couldn't agree on a subsidy package, the subsidy was withdrawn and EYMS took over the route commercially, with daytime services extended through to Market Weighton, and putting the number back to 18. Interestingly, throughout this whole period (back to June 2000 at least), the Sunday service has run by EYMS to the exact same timetable (via Elvington Airfield). They switched it to 18A when First called it 18, but kept it as 18A even when Pullman put the number back to 35.

Interesting to see Squarepeg registering new service 9 Pudsey-Horsforth and 39 White Rose-Brackenwood from 21st May. Similar to the current 38?

Apparently the 214 is being withdrawn.
At least Arriva have seen sense and are withdrawing it. I reckon about 5 people have used this service since it started.
