Harrogate’s 36 bus will now run every 10 minutes towards Leeds following repairs to Harewood Bridge.
Harrogate’s 36 bus returns to one service every 10 minutes towards Leeds Harrogate’s 36 bus will now run every 10 minutes towards Leeds following repairs to Harewood Bridge. From Sunday 3rd September, The Harrogate Bus Company is to return the 36 to a bus every 10 minutes from Monday to Saturdays. The announcement follows the completion of essential repairs to the Grade II* listed Harewood Bridge which carries thousands of vehicles a day, including buses on The 36 route, across the River Wharfe. Leeds City Council engineers have completed waterproofing, resurfacing and footpath repairs on the structure a week ahead of schedule. The Harrogate Bus Company General Manager Steve Ottley said:
“The Harewood Bridge closure meant we had to follow a diversion between Harewood and Pannal, with extended journey times. “To deliver the service within the resources available to us, we reduced the service to run up to four journeys an hour between Harrogate and Leeds. “The repairs have now been completed and so we can return to running six buses an hour, with a service every 10 minutes on Monday to Saturday daytimes. As part of a series of improvements we’re making to our Harrogate network, we’re also making other detail changes to the timetable in place before the bridge closure began in July. “We’d like to thank our customers for their patience and continued support throughout the Harewood Bridge closure, and we look forward to returning to the frequent and reliable service which makes The 36 such a popular route.”Other changes to The Harrogate Bus Company’s services from Sunday 3rd September are: - The 1: Harrogate – Knaresborough: In response to traffic congestion on Knaresborough Road, changes will be made to improve reliability. The service will continue to run up to every 10 minutes on Monday to Saturday. - The 2: Harrogate – Bilton: Minor changes to departure times from The Knox to Harrogate - The 8: Harrogate – Knaresborough – Wetherby: New times for some afternoon journeys on Monday to Friday. No changes to Saturday times - School Buses 620H, 720H, S2, S3, S6, S8 and S36: Timetable changes to help buses run reliably and in line with school start and finish times.
