Transdev will cease operating the number 12 service on Friday 31st March and the new operator, East Yorkshire, takes over the route on Monday 3rd April. This potentially meant a gap in service on Saturday 1st April, which thankfully has been addressed.
Council officers have arranged for York Pullman to operate the number 12 service on Saturday, with assistance on the day from Reliance Buses. The service will remain hourly as per the present timetable. In order to encourage usage and to avoid any ticketing complications, the bus will operate free of charge to all passengers on Saturday.
From Monday 3rd April the number 12 will be operated by East Yorkshire under their newly-launched ‘York Locals’ branding. Any unexpired Transdev weekly tickets will be accepted during the first week of operation. Full details of the East Yorkshire service can be found HERE
