Transport Information: January 2008 Archives

For some time, with the support of Councillor John Galvin, I have been pressing for improvement to Bishopthorpe bus stops. New stop signs were erected but until now the timetable cases on most stops remained blank.

I am grateful to First York, who have now put timetables for the No.11 service into the cases.

Several stops still need C1 timetables, but Harrogate Travel may be reluctant to do anything until they know whether this useful but subsidised service is to continue beyond April. 

We have at last received Questionnaire copies (see Martin's earlier entry about this) and have the opportunity to press the City Council for subsidised services to continue. 

As well as all C1 journeys, Evening and Sunday buses on the No.11 service depend on City Council subsidy.

At present (18th January) the C1 bus service (Askham Bar Tesco to Tadcaster via Bishopthorpe) cannot follow its normal route because of flood obstructions near Bolton Percy Cricket Club and between Bishopthorpe and Acaster.

From Bishopthorpe towards Acaster, the route is as normal until Acaster Lane. The C1 enters Acaster Lane, turns right either into Montague Rd. or Ramsay Avenue and continues via Maple Avenue. It then travels via Appleton Rd. to Acaster.

From Bolton Percy, it goes via Colton to the A64, and thence to Tadcaster.

Keble Park residents should be aware that the C1 does not pass Keble Park along Acaster Lane so long as the flood signs are displayed.
