Now I'm not sure when the following 2 Dalesbus services will launch, but because they've not been mentioned on the Dalesbus page yet I'm guessing it'll be May. I've seen on the Summer network map services 858 and 859, the 858 looks to start at Ribblehead and go via Hawes and perhaps Askrigg to Bellerby then up to Richmond and beyond there to somewhere in the North East but it isn't clear where. The 859 looks to be a much shorter route from Richmond to Leyburn.

The 859 looks to be a much shorter route from Richmond to Leyburn. Hidden somewhere on Arriva North East's website, along with 831/832 details: www.arrivabus.co.uk/latest-news/dalesbus-returns-may-2024"New for 2024, Service 858 will delight travelers with Sunday routes from Darlington, Richmond, and Catterick Garrison to Redmire, continuing through Carperby, Askrigg, and Hawes to Ribblehead Station. For seamless connectivity, Service 830 offers Sunday connections with trains at Ribblehead on the scenic Settle and Carlisle Railway, facilitating travel down to Richmond via the Buttertubs Pass and Swaledale. Additionally, Service 859 introduces an afternoon journey between Richmond and Leyburn, granting passengers ample time—2 hours and 45 minutes—to savor the delights of this vibrant market town's shops and cafes." So breakdown appears to be Arriva additionally doing: 858 Darlington - Richmond - Askrigg - Hawes - Ribblehead. 830 Ribblehead - Hawes - Buttertubs Pass - Reeth - Richmond. 859 Richmond - Leyburn. Likely a response to the likes of Kirkby Lonsdale Coach Hire being unable to provide Sunday services on the Dalesbus network for 2024 from the North West, presumably means us in the North East gaining options of earlier/later journeys and different locations to the ones offered on the 831. Additionally, appears as if the Reliance 825 will be operating weekly from May 26th to October 6th.

I wonder if they're going to split the Ilkley town service back to how it used to be, with a loop from the bus station to Hebers Ghyll and back, and a loop from the bus station to Ben Rhydding and back, rather than one big loop covering both that gives passengers a long journey in one direction or the other. It would be tight but it looks like there's just about enough time to do that.

No difference there, buses will continue to not run. Hopefully someone new can pick it up it's a nice route. One perfect for Squarepeg or TLC Travel.

Good riddance to them, cowboys like that have no place around anywhere. Independent companies can be brilliant if they are ran properly, like Squarepeg, South Pennine, TLC ect. The way they've ran that service has been a disgrace. The public been massively let down with that route.

Finally seen sense then, not often this service runs, and if it does, the drivers find ways to not carry passengers giving excuses as "pre-book only"

Assuming it is actually put out to tender again, wouldn't be at all be surprised if the service is binned off altogether citing "low passenger numbers" which I've seen happen all too often when a service has been badly ran like the 30 has.

Maybe slightly reroute the 10, to save having to tender?

It already covers the Railway Station and Horsforth Vale, but there would be no way for it cover Calverley and Woodhall Road without a long double run up from Rodley roundabout, which would add about 10 or 15 minutes to each journey.

Fair point. Not entirely familiar with the route.

I recon the 30 has simply lost so much custom that WYCA have said it's not worth replacing.

Did it ever have any custom in the first place? Isn’t it mainly a planning condition for the new housing estate
It shows that the only people who have ever made a fuss of it being unreliable are enthusiasts who wanted to ride on an unusual vehicle, rather than hundreds of people actually relying on it

CT Plus actually ran the service though, A and A Coach Travel turned up whenever they felt like it
I wouldn't say A and A Coach Travel's buses was unusual or special, as quite a few of their buses was ex First Geminis

A lot of talk that the 9A is to be re-extended to cover the White Rose - Pudsey - Horsforth section (off-peak & Sundays) from May service changes with BSIP Funding

Not minor routes. That would be wasted funding from my view. I think funding would be far more useful on routes such as 55 and 62. The Cross Green is well used by passengers for buses but for some reason buses can't run early, on Sundays or during the evening. As for service 55, with a planned closure for Cottingley station it would be useful to increase the frequency maybe to every 15 minutes for coverage. Potentially also having all journeys extend to White Rose rather than just the 55C.
