Why start rumours ? "Harrogate Coach Travel to the Airport anyone? " Its won by Proctors of Leeming. Lets post fact not fiction. Firstly, it was a question, not a rumour. And secondly, I didn't know if any other operator was taking it on. We have the freedom to post what we want (within reason, obviously) and if you don't like that, tough tits.

There must be a lot of profit in that if they are gonna bring a bus down from Leeming every day, or have they got a depot/outstation closer?

Don't know if this is connected but according to fleet news in Buses magazine for March Proctors have just taken on a new VDL SB200/Wright Pulsar 2.

I recon they'll use Harrogate Coach Travel as an outstation for buses for this route unless they've struck a deal with a haulage firm. I can't see Transdev being used bearing in mind Transdev were in competition for this contract.

New Coastliner timetable for York-Leeds section from 1st March. 844 times have changed with buses leaving York 3 minutes later and Leeds 5 minutes later. Looking at the timetables, Coastliner now leave York railway station at 18, 28, 48 and 58 minutes past the hour (First's X64 running in between those at 23 and 53). Coastliner now has a straight 15 minute frequency leaving Leeds at 00, 15, 30 and 45. It's a shame they couldn't have made it a 15 minute frequency at York too, but it's unable to do that because of the timing at Heworth. www.yorkbus.co.uk/cmsUploads/news/files/web_cl_ltym_010310.pdf

I can't see Transdev being used bearing in mind Transdev were in competition for this contract. And HCT were not ?. Leaving the vehicle aside how are they going to swop drivers, makes me wonder if they intend on bidding at a low price for the next batch of Harrogate area NYCC contracts and setting up a new base.

Didn't Abbotts of Leeming run a bus from Harrogate to Wetherby a few years ago?

Didn't Eddie Brown run the 780 for a period of time when H&D lost the tender?

Abbotts did acquire a number of school routes many of which are now operated by H&D, and operated these from a base alongside the railway in Knaresborough. I believe it was a number 14 bus via Sicklinghall and Kirkby Overblow, about 7-8 years ago. I don't think there was ever a Metro timetable for it. It was replaced by a demand responsive-type service although unsure if it still runs.

The 78 could be withdrawn in April, if approved at the next WYITA meeting. Metro and First have been discussing extending the 63 to Cross Gates via the 78 route from Ivy Avenue/Halton Dial and then extend it out of Leeds to St James's Hospital with a Saturday service introduced too. Service 92 would run during the summer holidays to cover the loss of service 78 in Woodhouse. www.wyita.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/C4BB8CAF-6A35-40AB-B796-6F069B509007/0/TSWG3MARCH2010ITEM7.pdf

Don't know if this is connected but according to fleet news in Buses magazine for March Proctors have just taken on a new VDL SB200/Wright Pulsar 2. The latest update on Jeff's Bus Lane has a photo of the new VDL and has been branded for the 73 service between Northallerton and Bedale. Don't know if this is just an interim measure or whether a new vehicle is being acquired for the service.
