New Bus Services link Wharfedale and Nidderdale

A new bus service is providing weekday links between Wharfedale and Nidderdale from 7th January 2008.

The new services link Long Ashes Park, Grassington and Hebden with Harrogate and Ripon, running via Stump Cross, Greenhow Hill and Bewerley.

The buses will initially run on Mondays to Fridays during School Terms only, but if they prove popular they may be extended to also run during the school holidays.

The services, numbered 11 and 12, are operated by Little Red Bus of Harrogate with support from the Dales & Bowland Community Interest Company.

In areas with no bus stops, the service operates as "Hail and Ride"; please wait where it is safe for the bus to stop and clearly signal the driver.

There is no need to book in advance, simply pay the driver when you board. Local OAP passes are valid for free travel.
