Cannot believe that they are going to operate two journies each way a day. the service would be better if it only ran three times a week. The only people using the service are pensioners and they only tend to go one way and catch the bus from Beverley to Hull.

If this service operates via the Shannon Road/Holderness Road roundabout between Ganstead and Bilton (and passes Asda) then it does operate within the city boundary. If it operates via Holmes Lane, then the timing points at Ganstead and Bilton are wrong.

Sorry - the lack of a timing point on the current service within Hull made me think it did not operate into the Hull City boundary
