Interesting that it appears to only be the 75 between Skipton and Malham they are cancelling, and not the X75 between Harrogate and Skipton. I can't believe they would keep that running without the 75, without at least changing the timetable, so do we think that's just an oversight from Pullman or part of the unique way in which VOSA groups related services' registrations together? |

Well here's a bit of interesting info on both services, Dalesbus list them as all year round services so the cancellation isn't for a winter break, also Betty's/Taylor's group part support it along with Dales and Bowland Community Interest Company.

Bit of early info, 75 to be operated by Kirby Lonsdale Coach Hire from 2 Oct and X75 to run as now during Oct, but funding ends at end of Oct with no replacement funding yet. I think it may run on til after Xmas in the hope of attracting enough Xmas shoppers but can't see it running beyond then, perhaps returning Summer only.

Interesting ... the current 75/X75 makes good use of a bus from 0900 to 1820 with a short lunch break, but the 75 on its own isn't much cop. If the service is restored to the 4-times-a-day service that it used to be when it was the 210 run by Hutchinsons and latterly Little Red Bus, that would make it more worthwhile to run as a stand-alone service. Or maybe they might run an occasional service to Carleton, Embsay or Greatwood in the gaps (he says hopefully)? |

I wondered if Kirby Lonsdale were altering the Saturday 580 timetable and part replaced a journey each way with a 75, guess what, they have! New winter timetable from 28 Sep on Dalesbus website.

More on the X75, from October it's now revised to extend to York with revised times. By the looks of things, it's just Dales and Bowland who are funding it. 1 morning bus with an evening return will run from York with 2 more short middle of day workings between Harrogate and Skipton.

Odd thing is I have noted them carry out a driver/vehicle change halfway through the day and with all the empty running to and from Rufforth you would have thought other journeys would be extended to York.
