EastRider is the brand name given to a network of long-distance bus services across the East Riding of Yorkshire and North Yorkshire, operated by Go-Ahead Group company East Yorkshire. The EastRider services, all operating from Kingston upon Hull, serve the destinations of Bridlington, Goole, Hornsea, Withernsea and York using a fleet of specially-branded high-specification buses.

The X46 and the X47 run from
The X46 and X47 services, as well as services 45 and 46, were the first East Yorkshire bus services to be upgraded to EastRider specification, receiving a fleet of eight Alexander Dennis Enviro400 MMC double-decker buses in August 2020 specified with bicycle carriers in the lower deck, audio-visual next-stop announcements, and USB and wireless chargers. The relaunched services were launched on 10 August 2020.[3][4]
Prior to the relaunch of the X46 and 46 as EastRider routes, the service was operated by a route-branded fleet of
X7/75
The X7 and the 75 both run from Hull Paragon Interchange to Withernsea via the A1033, calling at Hedon, Thorngumbald, Keyingham and Patrington. Both routes were launched in 2021, replacing routes 76 and 77 along the Hull-to-Withernsea corridor.[6] Service 75 departs Hull Interchange and heads onto the A1033 via Holderness Road and Southcoates Lane; Service X7 bypasses both roads and runs via Hedon Road for the A1033. Both services then leave the A1033 to stop at Hedon before rejoining the road for Thorngumbald, where they then split again; while service 75 leaves the road to serve the village of Burstwick, service X7 stays to bypass Burstwick and serve Ryehill. The 75 and X7 then rejoin and serve the villages of Keyingham, Ottringham, Patrington and Hollym before arriving at Withernsea.[7]
The service is operated mainly using a fleet of refurbished MCV EvoSeti-bodied Volvo B5TL double-deckers, which were originally delivered for use on the Hull-to-Withernsea corridor in January 2017.[8][9]

The 121 runs from Hull Paragon Interchange to Bridlington via the
Before 2018, the 121 continued along the A165 and served the seaside communities of Primrose Valley, Filey and Cayton before ending at Scarborough. However, this section was split off into route 12 on 6 May 2018, with the 121 having ended at Bridlington bus station since. East Yorkshire claimed that the route’s long length made keeping to its timetables challenging, especially in busy summer periods, due to delays caused by traffic congestion, accidents and roadworks.[11]
The 121, alongside the X46, received a batch of MCV EvoSeti-bodied Volvo B5TL double-deckers in 2017, which featured branding for the route.[5] Four of these were repainted and refurbished to EastRider specification for continued use on the route in 2022.
23/24/25
Services 23, 24 and 25 are three services that run from Hull Paragon Interchange and Hessle to Beverley and Hornsea, which commenced operations on 5 September 2021, replacing services 240, 246 and 80.[12][13] The three services are operated mainly using a fleet of refurbished Plaxton Centro-bodied Volvo B7RLE single-deck buses.
Service 23 is a cut-down version of the former 246 route, running from Hull Paragon Interchange to Beverley bus station via Beverley Road.[14]
Service 24, formerly numbered 240, runs from Hull Paragon Interchange to Hornsea via Witham and Holderness Road, the
Service 25 runs from Hessle to Hornsea via Anlaby, Cottingham, East Riding of Yorkshire and Beverley, calling at Willerby, Bentley, Tickton and Routh before joining the route of the 24 at Leven.[16]
55
The 55 runs on Mondays to Saturdays from Hull Paragon Interchange to
Service 55 was announced to be withdrawn as part of the April 2022 service cuts to the East Yorkshire network. A replacement service was launched by East Riding of Yorkshire Council in April 2022, with the route also remaining with East Yorkshire, albeit with the Gilberdyke to Goole section reduced to a two-hour frequency.[19][20]
Former routes
X5
The X5 was an express variant of the 55 which ran from Hull Paragon Interchange to Goole via the A63 from January 2021 to April 2022. The service, which ran five times a day Monday to Friday and four times on Saturdays, was operated by a single refurbished Caetano Levante coach.[6][9]
As a result of low patronage, the X5 was withdrawn in April 2022 as part of service cuts across the East Yorkshire bus network.[21]
45/46
Service 46 originally ran from Market Weighton or
Service 45 originally ran from Bridlington to York via Driffield and Market Weighton, with three EastRider buses branded for this service. In March 2022, however, it was announced that the 45 was to be withdrawn in April as part of a number of service cuts to the East Yorkshire network, resulting from a drop in bus ridership caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Three replacement services, all tendered to East Yorkshire and using EastRider buses, were launched by East Riding of Yorkshire Council on 10 April to replace the withdrawn bus services: a shorter 45 and the 46 replaced the York to Market Weighton section of the route, while the new service 145 replaced the Market Weighton to Bridlington section.[23][24][19]
In March 2023, it was again announced that services 45 and 46 were to be cut, with the 45 to be withdrawn entirely and the 46 being shortened to serve only Market Weighton and Holme on Spalding Moor from 2 April. These routes were replaced by the X46 and the X47, which are to run parallel with each other to create a 30-minute frequency from Hull to York on Mondays through to Saturdays.[2]
