A lavishly illustrated look at one of the most famous and idiosyncratic bus providers, the East Yorkshire Motor Services.
The legendary East Yorkshire Motor Services has been providing bus services in East Yorkshire since 1926. With buses painted in a distinctive livery of indigo blue and primrose yellow the company became famous for its ‘Beverley Bar’-shaped double-deckers operated through Beverley’s North Bar between 1933 and 1970. With distinctive destination indicators and the Willebrew ticket system, here was a company with its own very idiosyncratic way of doing things.
Author Bernard Warr has been an enthusiastic observer of the company since the mid-1950s and in that time has managed to take many photographs that will bring back memories of how the company fared in the boom days of bus travel in the 1950s and 1960s. Most of these images have never been published before and will provide a fresh insight into the company.
The Beverley Bar roofs and the distinctive livery may have gone but EYMS seems proud of its history and is embracing the future with confidence.

From an early age, Bernard took a great interest in transport. During the 1970s, he managed one of the leading heritage railways - the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. He worked for Midland Red on leaving school, at the central works and in long-distance coach services at Digbeth. This allowed him a unique position to photograph the everyday comings and goings of the company. Married with four grown-up children he runs a small business consultancy (and writes books) from his home in Central Lincolnshire.
