I assume the new X70 timetable (found via the Metro journey planner) is wrong, as it suggests no buses via Follifoot towards Harrogate apart from two ...and that Rudding Park to Wetherby has been scheduled at 80mph!! planner.wymetro.com/lts/pdfTimetable/YWAX070Can anyone provide a link to an accurate version? The Harrogate bound journeys are being done by the opposite hour than the journey from Tadcaster

The Harrogate bound journeys are being done by the opposite hour than the journey from Tadcaster That's certainly what you'd expect, but odd that Traveline/Metro have it wrong, and that doesn't explain the timing errors in the other direction. Is the correct timetable on t'internet somewhere?

The timetable shows services before the changeover on the 16th and after. Services after go via Plumpton (55 min past the hour from Hgate) and Follifoot (25 mins past). Services via Follifoot go on to Taddy but those returning from Taddy go via Plumpton. Wetherby only services return via Follifoot. No sunday service. Timings look tight - keep off the Follifoot-Spofforth road around 30-40 mins past each hour!

Interestingly, the link now produces a different timetable which, as you say, now shows the journeys via Follifoot in both directions. It still has the bizarre timings, although that might change too, before it actually starts. I assume Connexions will produce their own timetable and put it on their website at some point.

Pity cyclists following the National Cycle Network route pass Rudding Park and through Follifoot to Spofforth as a bus tries to do Rudding Park to Spofforth in one minute. Noticeable there is no bus Mon-Fri from Wetherby not via Folllifoot between 0710 and 0845 and not until 0845 Sat.

Looking at Transdevs timing for the 70 they will need to leave Harrogate 10 minutes earlier than stated to arrive at Wetherby at the time quoted. Running as stated arrival at Wetherby would be 5 minutes after it should have left for Tadcaster, trim the wait at Wetherby from 5 to 2 mins and the turnround at Tadcaster from 10 to 5 mins and the wait in the other direction at Wetherby from 5 to 3 and it would be back on time

Their vehicles do not, in my experience, go as slowly as Transdev's electrics.

You surely do not think they can go Rudding Park to Spofforth in 1 minute and then Spofforth to Wetherby in 4 minutes, particularly when they give those via Plumpton 7 minutes to get from Spofforth to Wetherby, which is the same Transdev give the 70/71.

The timetable for the revised X70 service is now being handed out. The Harrogate-Tadcaster via Follifoot service is down to get to Wetherby 5 minutes faster than the 70 where it then waits for 5 minutes. But it still shows Spofforth at xx.45 arriving Wetherby xx.45!

Metro have published the same erroneous times as per Connexions, not so obvious as no Wetherby arrival time is given. NYCC have not published any timetable yet.

Also spotted that the 412/X70 Ebor Connexions timetable shows the 1720 from York running through to form the 1820 from Wetherby to Harrogate (as up to now) ... but the X70 Calcaria Connexions timetable shows the last bus from Wetherby at 1800 (from Tadcaster at 1725), nothing at 1820.
<sigh> I'll have another go at getting a correct timetable from Craig.

Except if you expand an individual trip, you get the amusing sight of Spofforth Railway Inn, Stockeld Park, Harrogate Road Wentworth Gate, Chatsworth Drive, Linton Road at Spofforth Hill, all timed at xx45...!!

0930 from Follifoot left at 0938. DD SP51AXS. Huh? There is no 0930 from Follifoot in the posted timetable, which shows departures at 0926 towards Harrogate and 0940 towards Tadcaster.

NYCC have still not published any timetable which now means if anyone uses their website and wants to find out what bus goes to Follifoot you get a choice of 3 school services only.

Still unbelievable - The Follifoots that go to Tadcaster run 2 minutes faster between Spofforth and Wetherby than any other service, and do not have any waiting time at Wetherby

Seems be the case as the 1220 from Tadcaster was going pass Empress Roundabout Harrogate at 1310, due the Bus Station 5 mins later. There is a further discrepancy on the timings, from Woodlands Corner to the Bus Station, the Follifoot services have 10 minutes, the others 12.

Also interesting that it has legal lettering for an operator that doesn’t run an X1 service, and no sign of any “on hire to” notice. Strange?

Route X70 is said to be changing again next month, with no services running through to Tadcaster. Other changes rumoured but not specified.
