At the time of publication of this blog, it has just been announced that ‘EYMS’ is to become a part of the ‘Go-Ahead’ group.
I am sorry to see them go as an independent operator but I am sure from having observed all the major groups for many years that this is a good decision.
I wish all at ‘East Yorkshire’ well for the future.
I have been a follower of ‘East Yorkshire Motor Services’ for many years and I have always believed that the ‘EYC’ registrations indicated vehicles working for the ‘East Yorkshire Coaches’ unit.
Normally painted in cream and light blue there is at least one bus that does not quite fit in !!! (see below).
Most of these images were taken at ‘EYMS’ depot on Anlaby Road in Hull on a PSV Circle organised visit.

This is the bus mentioned earlier that doesn’t seem to fit however it is fitted with coach seats and other ‘luxury’ fitments so maybe it does.
A pity it’s not in the coaching livery though, it would look magnificent !
