Northallerton High Street

19/6/2020

 
Northallerton High Street is closed to allow social distancing on Northallerton Market on Wednesdays and Saturdays until further notice, so bus services are diverted.

All Dales & District services will drop off passengers at Tesco and the Buck Inn, and pick-up at the Buck Inn and Northallerton Library.

Face Coverings on Public Transport

15/6/2020

 
It is now compulsory for passengers to wear face coverings over mouth and nose while travelling on any public transport in England, including all bus and train services in the Yorkshire Dales area. 

Please remember to carry a face covering for your journey as without one you will be unable to travel.

A face covering can be very simple, like a scarf or bandana that ties behind the head to give a snug fit. It just needs to cover your mouth and nose. You can make your own face covering by following the guidance on .gov.uk.

Face masks are also on sale at many outlets, including Harrogate Bus Station (£2.50) and online from Transdev (£4.50) - with proceeds going to NHS Charities Together.  Free face masks are also available from Transdev at Keighley, Harrogate and Leeds bus stations.


Everyone is expected to wear a face covering if they can, except for:
  • children under 11, and children on dedicated school transport services
  • people with health conditions such as breathing difficulties, cognitive impairments and difficulties with dexterity. 
  • carers who are travelling with someone for whom a face covering will inhibit communication
​​The above list of exemptions is not exhaustive and extends to someone who has a justifiable reason for not wearing a face covering on the grounds of health or disability not outlined above. If you are unable to wear a face covering please inform the bus driver - you can download a card to show here (PDF file). Click here for full details.

Please put your face covering on before boarding the bus/train and wash your hands or use hand sanitiser before putting it on.

You should wear your face covering throughout the duration of your journey, including when disembarking the bus/train. If you need a drink or to take essential medication while travelling please do so quickly and be mindful of others.

To keep everyone safe please store a used face covering in a plastic bag and take it 
home. 

Rather than wear a face covering bus drivers now have protective screens where possible to keep you and them safe.

DalesBus Summer Services - Updated 14th July

27/3/2020

 
UPDATE FROM DALES AND BOWLAND COMMUNITY INTEREST COMPANY:

Many summer seasonal DalesBus services into and around the Yorkshire Dales National Park and Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty usually start at Easter weekend.

We are sorry to advise however that this year, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we have reluctantly decided to delay the introduction of these services until further notice. We will aim to introduce them if practical following the easing of government guidance on social distancing and non-essential travel, whenever that happens.

In the meantime we will continue to provide the following all-year Sunday and Bank Holiday services:
  • Garsdale Station Shuttle 855 (on a demand responsive basis)
  • Wensleydale Flyer 856
  • Cravenlink 873 (from 19th July)
  • Cravenlink 884 (from 19th July)

The latest updates on bus and train services in the Yorkshire Dales area will continue to be available on our news page and on Twitter @dalesbus
