Later bus services between Harrogate and Pateley Bridge set to begin
The number 24 bus service between Harrogate and Pateley Bridge is to be extended from the end of this month, with later evening departures introduced on Fridays and Saturdays.
From August 31, the last bus from Pateley Bridge will now depart at 21.55 (previously 18.30 on Fridays and 18.55 on Saturdays), and the final service from Harrogate will leave at 20.55 (previously 17.30 on Fridays and 18.55 on Saturdays).
The overall number of services has also increased, with Friday services rising from eight to nine and Saturday services from seven to eight in each direction.
The route serves stops at Killinghall, Hampsthwaite, Birstwith, Darley and Summerbridge, offering a vital connection for rural residents.
Julian Smith, the Conservative MP for Skipton and Ripon, welcomed the introduction of the new services.
He said:
This is a fantastic boost for Nidderdale. The extended timetable makes the 24 bus a more viable option for evening travel and supports our local pubs, restaurants, and community events.
I am grateful to North Yorkshire Council for their help to fund this service and I encourage everyone to make the most of it.
Earlier in the summer, a new weekday evening service was announced following a funding boost from the Mayor of York and North Yorkshire.
