ON Christmas Eve, your Man On The Omnibus reported on his journeys by East Yorkshire Motor Services buses between York and Pocklington, and I am glad to see that we performed reasonably well.

He comments that East Yorkshire is the only bus company he knows that uses am/pm times rather than the 24-hour clock, but he does not say whether he thinks this is a good thing or not. We have given this careful consideration and we believe that our passengers prefer the 12-hour clock, but we would be interested to know what your readers think.

Chairman and Chief Executive,
