It's been tendered for a long time - it was when Tyrers ran it.

The X80/180/280 are fully subsidised by LCC, so part of the larger cull of such services.

However, I hear that a rake down the back of the council sofa has resulted in some funds being found, and some of the more worthy services, may get some sort of reprise - although quite likely in a watered down format!
The LCC "consultation" doesn't finish until a week before the services end, so look out for some activity on the VOSA website that week!

I rode Volvo B5TL 3622 on route 36 yesterday. I liked it more inside than I thought I would being the new-style Gemini 3 bodywork. I sat in a solo seat on the right-hand side upstairs and had plenty of legroom as I put my bag and jacket under my seat. All that was missing was that I was not about to land at Leeds Bradford Airport!!

Yes, that's the reallocated former Harrogate 36 buses.

Going off the registrations on VOSA today, it looks like we can expect to see changes to the Mainline and X43 services in May with the Mainline services being re-numbered from 20-29 to M1-M4 and a X43 registration to/from Skipton.

There is a special "36" page on Transdev Harrogate's website, but no info whatsoever on fares for less than weekly periods. Not very "tourist friendly", given Harrogate's main trade is surely tourism.

I think it's £7.20 for a return, or £9 for their Daytripper ticket which covers all Transdev ops west of York.
