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.

Timetable:

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

Note that some of the connecting Barton - Hull times in the timetable are incorrect. Northern are aware of the issue so hopefully they will be corrected soon. In the meantime, please check the bus times on the Stagecoach website:

There are also extra 255 journeys, and changes to the times of some existing 255 journeys. If you want a bus from Barton to Hull at 0355, there is now one Monday to Thursday!

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