'Yellow' shuttle bus to run for Hull Coldplay gigs
StagecoachA shuttle bus service will operate when Coldplay stage concerts in Hull next month.
The band will appear at Craven Park on Monday 18 August and Tuesday 19 August as part of their Music of the Spheres World Tour. They are the only UK dates on the tour other than Wembley in London.
Stagecoach East Midlands is running a shuttle service called Yellow between Hull Interchange and Preston Road for Craven Park.
Matt Cranwell, managing director for the bus company, said: "We always want to do the right thing to meet the travel needs of local people, so we will be pulling out all the stops to provide an outstanding service."
Coldplay Day Tickets will cost £6 if bought on the Stagecoach App before 31 July. After that date, the price will be £9.
The shuttle service will operate at frequent intervals between 15:00 and 19:00 BST.
Then, from 22:00, the same service will take people back to Hull City Centre after the event.
Stagecoach is also managing a park and ride with a range of shuttle services on Monday 18 and Tuesday 19 August from Priory Park, Henry Boot Way, in Hull.
Tickets costs £20 and buses will depart between 3pm and 7pm, at least every 10 minutes. Return will be from 10pm.
"Many of our team, throughout the Stagecoach East Midlands operation, are big Coldplay fans, so we are proud and excited to play our part in making these great events for our city and region," Mr Cranwell added.
The bus company said more details would be released closer to the event.
