Interesting to see if anyone takes up the Ripon city services given Dales & District abandoned them or are NYCC suddenly going to find funding for them.

Prior to Shaun's taking them on, they were operated with NYCC funding by both Dales & District and Abbotts. It was only after that funding dried up in 2014 that they were taken on commercially. I wonder if we'll see NYCC taking them on using their own fleet as,they did with the town services in Northallerton, Richmond and Skipton. |

Am I right in thinking that they operated a couple of strange "one off" style vehicles from London in red TFL livery.

Dales & District tried to run the service commercially after NYCC pulled their funding with the services combined in a one big loop. |

There is a new housing development being built to the north west of Ripon which has a legal agreement on it that a bus service be provided so the CS1 should reappear.
As for the CS2 and CS2A the 22/23 partly serve the route and new housing developments are proposed to the south west of Ripon which might require a bus service, otherwise a possible solution would be for Transdev to reroute one 36 a hour through the estate to the west side of Harrogate Road.
