Starting on 11 November 2024, the current X46 and X47 services will be complemented by the new X45 route, which provides more frequent buses throughout the day. With the introduction of the X45, we will now offer three buses per hour during the day between Market Weighton, Pocklington, and York.

The new X45 will run from Market Weighton to York, following the existing X46 route, but will travel through Dunnington, restoring a much-requested link for the community to Pocklington and York. This enhancement will provide Dunnington residents with reliable and direct access to these areas, as well as convenient, seamless connections to Driffield via a newly revised 145 service, which will run hourly during the day from the 11th of November. The improved 145 service is provided with financial support from East Riding of Yorkshire Council, funded by the U.K. Government.

Stuart Fillingham, Head of Commercial at East Yorkshire Buses, commented on the new services: "We are pleased to respond to the phenomenal growth of the X46 and X47 routes by introducing this new service, which provides buses up to every 20 minutes between Market Weighton, Pocklington, Hull Road, and York. We are also delighted to return to Dunnington after a long absence. Not only will customers be able to benefit from journeys to Pocklington and Market Weighton, but they will also enjoy a new hourly service to York."

Mr Fillingham added: "We’ve worked hard to ensure, where possible, our new trips into Dunnington and from York follow a consistent timetable, with departures at the same time each hour. Our customers tell us they appreciate regular, easy-to-remember departure times, and we’re looking forward to welcoming both new and returning passengers on board. Additionally, we will be furnishing our new customers with user-friendly printed timetables to help them on their journeys."

Councillor Kate Ravilious, Executive Member for Transport at City of York Council, said; “Regular, reliable services connecting York to its surrounding towns and villages are absolutely vital to our residents and businesses, and I’m delighted to see these new and improved bus routes from East Yorkshire. I really encourage residents of York and the East Riding to try these services, especially over the coming months on the lead-up to Christmas when our roads are at their busiest, and it’s much easier to take the bus”.
