Passengers on new Harlow Carr bus to save 30% on garden entry A new bus service to RHS Garden Harlow Carr is being launched this weekend, and passengers will get discounted entry to the gardens. The new X6 service will run every 30 minutes, connecting Harrogate town centre and RHS Harlow Carr. It's launching on Saturday (22nd July) and will be running until Sunday 3rd September. Tickets for the bus are available to purchase on-board from £2, and entry will be discounted by 3o% for any visitors using this service. The discount will also apply to any visitors travelling car-free (e.g. by bike or on foot). A RHS spokesperson said:

"The RHS believes that everyone should have access to a garden, whether they drive or not, and through initiatives like this discount we aim to bring the joy of gardens and gardening to audiences who might not otherwise have the opportunity. "With our commitment to being net positive for nature and people by 2030, encouraging green travel where possible is just one of the many ways that we can reach our sustainability targets."

Full details for the new X6 Harlow Carr Gardens express journeys will be available online and on the free to download Transdev Go mobile app, as well as from the information kiosk at Harrogate Bus Station. Read more local stories from Your Harrogate here.
