Would guess the variation to route relates to the Leeds Bridge works which commence in January

It's a shame they couldn't have done it when Vicar Lane was closed as it looks like another year when northbound Vicar Lane services can't serve the street, just like in 2015

Quite ridiculous news item on Connexions web site that they are withdrawing their 965 because of other operator running 5 mins in font of them - obviously cannot read a timetable as its pretty obvious they mainly run in front of Transdev. Typical garbage from the Tockwith bus company.

On the other hand, it's a bit rich when Transdev tout themselves as the local bus company for Otley, when two years ago they had never turned a wheel in the town and Connexions had been running local and interurban buses there for years... |

Its a bit rich Connexions owning/ using the Harrogate Bus Company name; and just in case Transdev change back to the Harrogate & District Travel name Connexions own the Harrogate & District Bus Company name. If the Tockwith bus company want to get along with Transdev they ought to sell them those names to Transdev at cost price as a indication of good will.

Don't know why they'd want to get on with their biggest competitor though |

This has to be the most pathetic juvenile post I've seen on this forum. Its really boring reading post after post of how petty Connexions are when Transdev are no better |

Its really boring reading post after post of how petty Connexions are when Transdev are no better Connexions keep on bleating about wanting joint ticketing on the Harrogate - Wetherby route but that Transdev refuse to have anything to do with it; hardly surprising given that Connexions take every opportunity to attack Transdev on social media and their web site. They only bought the Bus Company names to spite Transdev after Transdev announced the renamings of the Blackburn/Burnley/Harrogate/Keighley operations and frankly their buses look tacky with it splattered on them in cheap blue vinyls. |

Connexions have not bought any names.
The Harrogate Bus Company is legally "Harrogate & District Travel Limited" (formed 1988) - there is nothing to stop them going back to using this name.
Connexions have started a company called "Harrogate and District Travel Limited". They've also registered "Theharrogatebuscompany Limited", "Harrogate Bus Company Limited", "Connexions Buses Limited" and "Harrogate Independent Travel Limited. These were all formed 7-9 April 2016 except for Theharrogatebuscompany which was registered 6 days after Transdev applied for a registered trademark with that name in June 2016.
They do of course trade through "Harrogate Coach Travel Limited".
Is it mature to form 3 companies with names almost identical to your rival's legal or trading names (and another with the same name as a company they took over 28 years ago)?

Good business sense if you ask me. Don't know why they'd want to get on with their biggest competitor though The biggest competitor for any bus company is the private car. In many areas bus companies get on very well. Why would they want to foster animosity with a company they'll come into contact with regularly? |

Good business sense. except that Transdev Blazefield are pretty unlikely to offer to pay Connexions anything for them beyond the 99p upwards they paid for each if they wanted them. Sticking the Harrogate name on Connexions vehicle's can at the worst confuse people as the Harrogate Bus Company to everyone in Harrogate town including the local press and the Council is Transdev Blazefield and are openly referenced as such. If you follow Connexions logic that they are the Harrogate Bus Company because they are based in Harrogate District,then Transdev Keighley should be the Bradford Bus Company. |

So what difference does it make if they don't want it? Surely they're the French bus company? Whilst I don't agree with the lack of professionalism from Connexions at times, Trandev havent played fairly either. I don't think Connexions deserve the slagging off they get from you & the sun definitately doesn't shine out of Transdev's exhaust like you make out. |

And then a form to fill out each year to confirm they're not trading. I repeat, why would anyone buy it? What business sense is there in doing it? |
