In early 2008, Dalesbus 806 will operate on selected Sundays from Leeds to Hawes, operating via Cracoe instead of Burnsall.
DalesBus 805 is however no longer operating, due to a change in EU tachograph legislation the previous operator is unable to continue the service.
If you live in the Keighley or Skipton area you can also join DalesBus 806 by catching a connecting bus on service 66A. This service from Keighley and Skipton to Grassington continues to run hourly throughout the day on Sundays, leaving Keighley at 0945 and every hour until 1545, returning from Grassington at 1055 and hourly until 1655.
The Cravenlink service between Ilkley, Bolton Abbey, Embsay and Skipton will continue every Sunday throughout the Winter months. From 9th December 2007, a new timetable was introduced and the service re-routed to also serve Eastby and The Strid. From 23rd March 2008 a new service 884 journey will operate from Ilkley to Skipton at 0915, running via Addingham, Bolton Abbey, The Strid, Eastby and Embsay.
The Sunday bus services in Nidderdale (route 24 from Harrogate to Pateley Bridge) and Wensleydale (routes 156/157 from Northallerton and Bedale to Leyburn and Hawes) are now well-established year-round routes so will continue running throughout the Winter.
Service X80 from Preston and Clitheroe to Skipton will continue to operate on Sundays throughout the Winter months for the first time this year, connecting with service 66A at Skipton. From 18th November a new timetable started on services 280/X80, and the service is now operated daily by Lancashire United.
