Summer timetables have been released for the Nidderdale Dales Bus service.
The 820 and 821 buses, which start in Keighley, will run on Sundays and bank holidays throughout the summer.
Both services will depart from Keighley Bus Station at 9.25am, through to Norwood, Fewston and Swinsty and Fewston reservoir via Otley.
The 820 service will terminate at Swinsty and Fewston, but the 821 will continue to Scar House reservoir via Blubberhouses, Greenhow Hill, Coldstones Cut and Pateley Bridge.
It will also stop in Wath, Ramsgill and Lofthouse before returning to Keighley from Scar House.
The service has been backed by Yorkshire Water’s beyond nature project.
The firm’s land and property lead surveyor, Lisa Harrowsmith, said:
“Yorkshire Water and Beyond Nature is pleased to continue its sponsorship of the DalesBus Nidderdale service which provides an important link to some of the beautiful attractions of the Washburn Valley and Upper Nidderdale areas.”
All single fares are capped at just £2 in line with the national initiative.
The Dales Bus summer timetable will be in place until October 20.

Long-term delays expected at key junction on way to Leeds Bradford Airport
Delays are expected until Spring next year on a key junction between Harrogate and Leeds Bradford Airport while roadworks take place on the A660 and the A658.
The Dyneley Arms junction, at the top of Pool Bank, connects Pool-in-Wharfedale to north Leeds, as well as to Bradford, Otley and the airport.
West Yorkshire Combined Authority is spending £2.4m on the scheme, which involves widening roads and adding crossings and turning lanes.
The council said the works will improve journey times between Leeds and Harrogate. The main works will begin on September 12.
Cllr Helen Hayden, Labour councillor on Leeds City Council said:
“This junction was ranked one of the top congested junctions in the Leeds district. I’m pleased to see after a lot of efforts to deliver the scheme, we’re finally able to make a start to improve capacity at the junction.
“The scheme will also provide benefits to improve journey times between Leeds and Harrogate, and the intervening villages when it completes in spring next year. Like many schemes in construction across Leeds, we’re advising motorists to allow more time for journeys and to plan ahead where possible. We apologise in advance of any inconvenience caused.”
