There are roadworks affecting the Service X70 once again from today (7th August) to at least Wednesday (12th August). This means that we will have to use the main A661 road, and will be unable to serve Follifoot. We will be able to serve Rudding Park as normal, however.
On Monday and Tuesday (10th and 11th August), there will be a shuttle bus operating between 0930 and 1530 taking Follifoot customers (from all stops in Follifoot) to Rudding Park to meet the Wetherby and Harrogate buses. We will ensure this connection is made to the best of our ability
Please accept our apologies for this - it is beyond our control.

There are other road closures due on these same roads (showing no co-ordination once again), and we are currently waiting for information from North Yorkshire Council about these, and how they will affect us -we will advise as soon as we know.

We don’t condone graffiti on our buses but this on the x71 did make us chuckle!
Trevor and Paul are the regular drivers on the bus!

Lovely feedback from one of the carers from City of York Council here.
Our drivers really do go above and beyond to provide the best and most friendliest service wherever possible.
Unfortunately in West Yorkshire under franchising rules, this kind of personal attention gets swept away as all are treated the same- unfortunately in the method that larger companies use currently

Today marked our last school hires for this academic year.
Thank you to all of our customers- and we look forward to working with you all again next year.
Call us for coach hire for all occasions- we have vehicles to accommodate up to 55, 68 and 98 - all fully seat belted plus new 45 seat buses fitted with belts for shorter trips.
This was our 55 seater today in Huddersfield keeping company with Anthony’s Travel coaches.

Don’t forget it’s the Great Yorkshire show from today (14th) to 17th July.
We know it brings a lot of people to the town, but it does cause chaos for those of us trying to operate as normal whilst it’s on!
On service x70, We can’t serve rudding park (apart from into Harrogate until 1400 on each day). Follifoot will be served as normal.
Wetherby Road is inbound only to woodlands corner until 1400 and outbound only from woodlands corner from 1400 on each of these days. Between Harrogate and woodlands, we can serve all bus stops all the time.
Please bear with us through this, as it does have knock on effects on all services due to increased traffic on all surrounding roads.

Along with other members of the York Quality Bus Partnership, we are providing the racecourse shuttles between York Rail Station and the racecourse
£2.50 single, £4.00 return- an absolute bargain!

We are proud to sponsor this event this year

You can travel to and from the event on the super13- but please be aware that the stops at York station are closed today so you’ll need to board at rougier street or blossom street instead

In true roadworks co-ordination style, on our x70 service today, there are 4 sets of temporary lights between Harrogate and Wetherby.
Quite how anyone allows this to happen at a time when it is supposed to be considered and planned is beyond us!
Anyway- please bear with us, we are trying to operate our services despite this ridiculous disruption. Because of how our buses run, there may be knock on delays to x52 service also
Please accept our apologies but this is truly outside our control

When you have staff that do that little bit more than is needed!
This is absolutely amazing- well done Fi

Absolutely exemplifying why one size doesn’t fit all- as is being done in bus franchising, here is 7396LJ in one of the more rural parts of the 64 service.
I’ve had people waving at the bus as I passed through Barwick and a customer telling me how nice all my drivers are this morning. Definitely not something that would happen under faceless non-entity run by bureaucrats.
Long live the SME sector and all we stand for!
