Bus-it

 

Goole Bus Forum

 

Bus users in Goole are being urged to attend a Goole Bus Forum to be held at Noon on Thursday 21 May 2009 at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Goole Offices, Church Street, Goole. Free, all welcome.  Refreshments.  Disabled access. 

 

The Goole Bus Forum brings together the public, bus and community transport operators together with East Riding of Yorkshire Council to improve the quality of bus travel in the Goole area.  Representatives from local bus operators including East Yorkshire Motor Services and Goole Gofar Community Transport will be at the Forum.  The public is invited to raise any issue relating to bus travel whilst local bus operators and East Riding of Yorkshire Council give updates about improvements.  The event is organised and chaired by The City of Hull & Humber Environment Forum (CHEF) – a local charity that specialises in public transport consultation.  CHEF also organises regular Bus Forums in Bridlington and Hull.

 

‘However often you use the bus come and have your say at the Goole Bus Forum.  Together we can improve the quality of bus travel in the Goole area.’ Adam Fowler, Community Environment Officer, The City of Hull Environment Forum.

 

Bus It first visited Goole in July 2002.  This proved to be a tremendous success attracting about 75 people.  As a direct result of inquires on that visit Service X62 from Hull to Leeds via Goole now stops outside Hull Royal Infirmary.  There is also now a Saturday return journey from Goole to Airmyn. 

Bus It is East Riding's unique travelling information bus providing comprehensive local travel information for all bus and rail services in the East Riding of Yorkshire. You can obtain timetables, find out about services, plan a day trip and talk to someone in person who can answer inquiries.  Bus It is equipped with a computerised journey planner to plan indivigual transport needs, includes displays and a meeting area.  You can even watch a video about some of the issues facing bus services.  Similarly, you can respond about local public transport services and Bus It will investigate your issues with the bus operators and local authority.  Bus it is also particularly keen to promote integrated public transport and will be advocating bus/rail links in Goole. 

Goole is a local transport hub with regular bus and train services to a variety of destinations in the area.  These include frequent train services to Hull, Doncaster and Sheffield and a limited train service to Leeds and Goole.  There are many bus services including a frequent town service, hourly daytime services to Doncaster, Selby, York with less frequent services to Hull, Gilberdyke, Leeds and Swinefleet.   Earlier this year, Arriva Yorkshire supported by East Riding of Yorkshire Council and PATH (People and Transport in Howdenshire) introduced new regular daytime services to Selby via Howden.  This service has since been extended to Hook.  East Riding of Yorkshire Council also supports a Sunday service between Goole, Selby and York. 

Bus It has been developed by the East Riding Rural Transport Partnership and is being delivered by The City of Hull Environment Forum (CHEF) a charity which organises local bus forums throughout Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire.  Bus It has so far visited 60 locations this year attracting about 2000 inquiries.  Bus It is funded by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, The Countryside Agency and is supported by East Yorkshire Motor Services. 

Comment

'Bus It will build on the success of its earlier visit to Goole and help to make public transport more accessible.' 

Adam Fowler, Community Environment Officer, The City of Hull Environment Forum.
