East Yorkshire Buses say they are working on plans for a new depot in Scarborough which could be complete next summer.
The bus operator says that after nearly two years of work behind the scenes, they will be relocating and combining both their Barry's Lane and Westwood depots to a new location on Taylor Way in the middle of 2024.
The site is being developed in partnership with the landlord GoodREIT, the company say it will be future-proofed to ensure that buses can be maintained, serviced and cleaned for many years to come – including facilities to allow a transition to electric buses in the future. The new site is also being built to the latest environmental standards, which will help to reduce the carbon footprint of the company’s operations.
Subject to planning approval, the work will start on the site this summer, and is expected to take around twelve months.
Ben Gilligan, Managing Director of East Yorkshire Buses, said:
“This is a very exciting time for East Yorkshire, allowing us to move away from the two sites that we currently occupy in Scarborough, and merge our efforts together as well as adapting to the needs of modern bus operations. We’re looking forward to making the move to show our commitment to providing the best possible service to Scarborough and the surrounding area.”
