Local people will soon be able to travel between the Harrogate district and the Yorkshire Dales as part od the DalesBus summer timetable.

The services, some of which are run in conjunction with the Harrogate Bus Company, will begin operating next month or at the beginning of May.

Not only will people be able to travel to various towns and attractions across the district, but also between York, Leeds, Richmond, Hawes and Grassington.

The routes will run on Saturdays and Sundays - and some on bank holidays – with single fares capped at £3.
