Bus service suspended due to Kex Gill road closure
A weekly bus service that links Harrogate and Skipton has been suspended due to the road closure at Kex Gill.
The A59, which is the main route between the two towns, closed suddenly on New Year’s Day due to a landslip.
Diversions are currently in place.
The Dales and Bowland Community Interest Company, which operates the Saturday DalesBus 59, said in a statement today it had temporarily suspended the service.
The statement said:
The usual bus service will resume when the road reopens. The latest updates will be available online at www.dalesbus.org/59.
In the meantime DalesBus 74 will continue to provide the usual Saturday service between York, Harrogate, Otley, Ilkley, Bolton Abbey and Grassington – full details are at www.dalesbus.org/74. This bus leaves Harrogate Bus Station every Saturday at 0925, returning from Bolton Abbey at 1725.
The Stray Ferret published the latest news about the road closure yesterday. You can read it here.
