More buses for Harrogate as timetables return to normal this weekend
and live on Freeview channel 276
The bus firm’s move comes as young people prepare to return to school five months on from the start of lockdown restrictions.
The company also says increasing number of customers are also returning to its services for work and leisure trips now that travel restrictions have eased, with added reassurance from its unique 'Clean, Safe and Ready to Go' customer promise to provide the highest standards of cleanliness and safety on all of its buses.

“Recognising that working patterns for many have changed, we’re now offering flexible ticket bundles as part-time home working has risen in popularity. All of these are available instantly on our Transdev Go mobile app, which also tracks every service throughout its route and shows our customers how much capacity there is on every bus at any point in the journey.
“We’re ready to help people travelling back to work, back to the shops, back to leisure and back to education, while also reducing traffic congestion and air pollution in our local towns and cities. It’s time to come back to the bus.”
From this Sunday September 6, the following changes will be introduced:
