The Call Connect information is from the Call Connect Twitter feed. I note that they have included specific North Lincs booking times so shouldn't be Lincs centric. I will be happy to clarify the matter with them though.

There has clearly been coordination on the 350. Good to see a combined timetable rather than the confusing mess last time.

I'd be cautious about the twitter feed as well, where it doesn't explicity state it includes North Lincolnshire - the twitter account header doesn't even list the North Lincolnshire phone number

Call Connect now advise after seeking clarity that the 260 will be running, thanks for adviing caution there HT.

Some further Stagecoach alterations from Monday. The 250 is reduced to approximately every 2 hours. The 255 is unaltered. The 350 looks to be unaltered from the current temporary timetable, but the new pdf (under Hull on the Stagecoach website) has the Hull and Scunthorpe depot journeys on separate pages, so no combined timetable is currently provided. The 260 and 450 continue to their normal timetables.

I haven't looked at the changes for the more local services in Hull and Grimsby. Scunthorpe shows no further changes, but under Gainsborough the 100 Scunthorpe-Gainsborough-Lincoln service is being reduced to every 2 hours.

Thanks HT for the update. Apologies that I haven't replied sooner.


Current state of affairs of local services for essential journeys only:

Northern

Barton and Brigg Lines: Neither Line currently sees a train service, and sadly this is likely to continue in order to protect the key routes, Network Rail have temporally closed the lines so that the signalling resources can be re-deployed. We are not currently providing any bus replacement service for either line.

Temporary timetables for the rest of the Northern network are available at the below link. Many of these are likely to be revised again on 27th April 2020.

East Yorkshire are back to normal for their journeys on the 350 from Sunday - Sundays are showing as the 'old' timetable not the 'new' timetable that was due to be introduced in April. Nothing from Stagecoach yet.

Posted by TomIrvin on

Thanks very much for that. Good to see EYMS back in the fold. I would expect a revised timetable from Stagecoach, so I will hold off posting any summaries until such a time that that comes.

Posted by TomIrvin on

Apologies for the delay in me posting this.

 

Firstly, just to point out, especially as the non essential retail opens tomorrow, all public transport remains essential travel only. Travel to non essential retail is not essential, although clearly is if you work there and have no other means of transport.

 

Also, as of Monday 15th June 2020, use of face coverings becomes compulsory on public transport.

 

Rail services remain as per the previous update. It is expected that the next revision will come on 6th July.

 

Local Stagecoach buses within Scunthorpe, Grimsby and Hull are revised on Sunday 14th June. For details of these, please see:

https://www.stagecoachbus.com/promos-and-offers/east-midlands/coronavirus-temp-services

 

The Hornsby Travel service 254 Barton Town bus remains suspended.

 

The Stagecoach 260 Barton Villager is operating a temporary timetable, although this looks very similar to the normal timetable.

Details for the 6th July service rail service enhancements are now coming through.

Northern are as you were with the six return Barton Line trips Mondays - Saturdays and no Sunday Barton Line or Saturday Brigg Line services. There are enhancements elsewhere on their network.

 

The South TPE service will be predominantly 2 hourly but with full service in the peaks. Most services will still terminate at Manchester Piccadilly, where there are connections for the Airport. The overnight services will not run.

 

EMR details are stil awaited.

 

Bus timetables remain the same, although note that North East Lincolnshire concessionary passes have now gained their morning peak restrictions, hence can't be used Mondays - Fridays prior to 09:30.

 

Just a reminder that in line with the The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Wearing of Face Coverings on Public Transport) (England) Regulations 2020, face coverings (not necessarily masks) must be worn when on public transport unless a passenger has a reasonable excuse, such as:

Being unable put on, wear or remove a face covering because of any physical or mental illness or impairment, or disability (within the meaning of section 6 of the Equality Act 2010(1)), or without severe distress;

Travelling with, or providing assistance to, another person who relies on lip reading to communicate;

Travelling to avoid injury, or to escape a risk of harm, and does not have a face covering with them;

It is reasonably necessary to eat or drink, you remove your face covering to eat or drink (particularly relevant in this hot weather I feel);

You have to remove their face covering to take medication;

A relevant person requests that P remove their face covering.

 

Also a reminder that in line with the Prime Minister's statement on Tuesday, people should avoid public transport where possible.

450 to cease it's temporary timetable (though I think it's the normal Saturday/School Holiday timetable) or to cease alltogether?

Posted by TomIrvin on

I understand the 450 will cease altogether on Friday 29th August.

 

I agree what Stagecoach have branded as the temporary timetable is the usual school holiday timetable.

Posted by TomIrvin on

There have been further changes to omnibus services from Sunday 30th August 2020.

Service 250 is rerouted and no longer serves Great Limber or Humberside Airport. From Keelby, the service will run via Ulceby, Thornton Curtis and Barrow, regaining its current route in Barton after serving the Interchange followed by the Market Place. Some 250 journeys now detour to serve Wren Kitchens

There is now a late evening service 255 6 days a week, leaving Hull at 23:30, returning from Wren Kitchens at 00:20.

I am very sorry to report that the service uplift planned to take effect on the Barton Line from Monday 14th September 2020 will now not take place. Below is the explanation from Northern's train planning department:

"I should also mention with the Barton TT, the services listed below have been taken out as TPE do not have the traincrew to resource them. There is however an additional bus in each direction at end of day – you will see on the TT"

The taken out services are the 06:59, 14:55 and on Mondays - Thursdays the 21:04 from Cleethorpes and the 07:50, 15:50 and on Mondays - Thursdays the 22:02 from Barton.

The additional bus is the 21:04 from Cleethorpes and the 22:02 from Barton Mondays - Thursdays. This continues to run as a train on Fridays and Saturdays.

 

In more posivie news, the Brigg line will resume its Saturday only service from Saturday 19th September 2020. See the Brigg Line Group's attached promotional poster for details.Brigg_2020_v2.jpg

Good spot. If I lived in Barton, I would probably use that early morning 255 occasionally. Also a Sunday 255 in there.
