Staggacoach service revisions

John Fareham and John Abbott confirm that Stagecoach Service 3B is not one of those affected by the recent round of Stagecoach service changes.

John Abbott says, “The service 9, which competed  with East Yorkshire’s service 115 between the Interchange and Castle Hill no longer does so, although the East Hull part of that route will continue to run.  Stagecoach have also halved the frequency of the service 3 on Sundays from one every quarter of an hour to one every half hour.  What is of note, however, is that the map of Stagecoach services we have received from the officers clearly shows the 3B still running, and the detailed exposition of Stagecoach’s reasons for changes elsewhere they passed on to us makes no reference whatever to the 3B.  This suggests that they regard the 3B as the right answer to providing bus services for Bricknell Estate and environs – which the 9A, meandering as it did round the back of the University, clearly wasn’t – and that they accept the continuing necessity of keeping this area as part of the bus network.
