They had two services to the Harrogate Schools, one starting from South Milford and the other from Flaxby (nr Knaresborough).

Probably, last time I went to a match at Barrow with the supporters bus it went past a big, quite run down and vandalised council estate close to the bus depot. I wonder if this is where it happened?

It's very sad for a company to have to close down because of vandalism like this, but I don't understand why the attack has put them out of business. Would insurance not cover that kind of event?

A&A and Connexions are running the two Harrogate school services for the rest of this week. Worth pointing out they are not NYCC funded so parents will have forked out £760 for an annual pass with Tower Travel.
