East Yorkshire Buses has revealed plans to open a new depot near Scarborough in 2024.
Work on the new facility at Taylor Way, Eastfield – just south of Scarborough – will start this summer, subject to planning approval.
The operator says the depot, which will replace two existing ones at Barry’s Lane and Westwood, will be “future proofed” to allow for a switch to electric buses in years to come. It will also be built to the latest environmental standards.
In partnership with landlord GoodREIT, the building project will take around 12 months and should be ready for the middle of next year.
Ben Gilligan, East Yorkshire’s Managing Director, says: “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.”
