Summer Sunday buses around Nidderdale will resume this weekend on Easter Sunday.

The Dales and Bowland Community Interest Company, which operates the DalesBus, has regular all-year bus services which are supplemented by additional weekend routes into and around Nidderdale National Landscape and the Yorkshire Dales in the summer months.

The services take people to popular locations for days out, including Fountains Abbey, Pateley Bridge and Fewston.

The extra services usually run between May and October but this year they will start early on March 31 and operate until October 20.

All single fares for bus journeys are £2 and £1 for under-19s as part of a national initiative, as reported by the Stray Ferret last week.

The Sunday and Bank Holiday DalesBus services restarting on Easter Sunday, March 31 are:

• 820  Keighley – Otley – Fewston


• 821  Keighley – Otley – Fewston – Pateley Bridge – Scar House


• 822  Pocklington – York – Ripon – Fountains Abbey – Pateley Bridge – Grassington


• 875  York – Leeds – Ilkley – Grassington – Buckden – Hawes


• 876  Leeds – Ilkley – Grassington – Buckden – Hawes

From Easter weekend there will also be revised summer timetables introduced on the following services:

• 856  Northallerton – Leyburn – Hawes


• 864  Bradford – Ilkley – Skipton – Malham


• 873  Ilkley – Bolton Abbey – Skipton


• 874  Wetherby – Leeds – Ilkley – Grassington – Buckden

Other Sunday services are set to begin in May with the 831 and 832 on Sunday, May 5. Details of other services restarting in May are not yet available.

Much of the Sunday DalesBus network is dependent on voluntary ​fundraising by the Dales and Bowland Community Interest Company.

Details of the Summer Sunday services are available here.
