Ferchrissake – Arriva have already changed the timetables for most of their Selby services once this year already – why can't they make their minds up? There should be absolutely no reason for long-established routes to have a revised timetable twice in four months.
Interesting to see the 494/496 changing hands again ... how many operators has that been through now?

Utopia are taking over service 8 and maybe service 42 from April. I really hope that isn't true. Well, not bothered about the 8, but from a personal point of view, if Utopia take over the 42 and don't put on a full evening and Sunday service then it's going to be grossly inconvenient. At the moment, I have a choice of getting the 42, which runs close to my house and gives a reliably punctual arrival into York in the morning, but is no use if I want to return home later in the evening and not so much use on a Sunday – or the 415/416, which is a bit of a walk away and is reliably 15 minutes late into York in the morning, but gives me the convenience of being able to stay out after 6.30pm – and my one annual ticket covers me for both routes. If the 42 changes hands and I have to choose between a season ticket with Utopia (if they even do them) or a season ticket with Arriva then, unless the Utopia ticket is quite a bit cheaper (so that I can buy a few single tickets on the 415 and not be out of pocket) it's going to cost me a lot more money every time I go out after work. Which I would not be happy about. |

Probably a Dalesbus linking into the 23 which I think was previously run by someone other than Transdev.

Probably a Dalesbus linking into the 23 which I think was previously run by someone other than Transdev. The 823/825 is a Dalesbus service – it mostly provides a service in Upper Nidderdale, round Pateley Bridge, but also includes an inbound/outbound working as well – last year (and on a limited service through the winter) it was run by Utopia from South Milford, but from April it is being run by Transdev from Heslington. Will be interesting to see what vehicles they put on it – I would expect it to be something pretty small, in order to negotiate the tight lanes, but a Solo (or gods help us the Primo) all the way from York wouldn't be the nicest of rides. See getdown.org.uk/b/825-summer for the full timetable. |

Used to be 251/252 back in the day Bradford to Dewsbury direct via Batley. Now that is going back abit,i think it was around 4-5 year ago when 284 got withdrawn (Theres still the old black bus shelter near batley rail stn that no service uses),if i remember correctly it was marketed alongside 209/219/229 for Birstall Shopping Pk,when 284 was first introduced i think it went from Ouzelwell Est Via Thornhill Road & Webster Hill Into Dewsbury,straight along Bradford Rd into birstall cnt,went all around fieldhead then to Birstall Shopping Pk,not sure how long untill it was terminated in Dewsbury & fieldhead loop was simplifed with Ouzelwell Est being served by Whitley/Grange Moor Circ (207/208 i think they were called) & then eventully got merged into the current 128 |

So, ermmm... they're going head-to-head between Wistow and York on a similar frequency. Didn't Arriva did run most journeys commercially before? |

Also where is the 422 serving between South Milford and Wistow? I guess it will be serving Sherburn as well!? |

Not head to head from how the service change details read. Arriva running for 1 week, then Utopia taking over. |
