Harrogate scenic bus route to continue during winter

Monday, 28 October 2024 08:10

The DalesBus 74 is set to continue during the winter months.

A scenic bus service from Harrogate towards the Yorkshire Dales is set to continue during the winter months.

The DalesBus 74 will again be running from Harrogate and Knaresborough to Ilkley, Bolton Abbey and Grassington every Saturday this winter.

The bus, operated by Reliance, runs every Saturday from Knaresborough at 09:05am and Harrogate at 09:25an via Otley to Ilkley, Bolton Abbey, Burnsall and Grassington.

The bus returns from Grassington at 5pm and Ilkley at 5:45pm.

Full details of the times and stops are available online at www.dalesbus.org/74.

Saturday DalesBus 59 to Blubberhouses, Bolton Bridge and Skipton also continues all year, but has a slightly amended timetable from Saturday (26th October) to improve reliability.

Buses will run from Harrogate at 09:35am, 11:50am, 2:45pm and 4:45pm and from Skipton at 10:45am, 12:50pm, 3:45pm and 5:45pm.

DalesBus 24 from Harrogate to Pateley Bridge in Nidderdale National Landscape continues running seven days a week throughout the year, operated by the Harrogate Bus Company.

The timetable on this service is changing slightly from today (Monday) with many buses from Harrogate running five minutes earlier on Monday to Saturday.

As part of the national initiative to reduce the cost of bus travel the maximum single fare on all these services is still just £2 until at least the end of the year.

Elderly and disabled bus passes are also valid for free travel.

Full timetables are available online at www.dalesbus.org and in timetable leaflets from the usual local outlets.
