Arriva have been working closely with North Yorkshire Council to identify opportunities to enhance bus services in the region, and are pleased to be able to confirm the following improvements:
- Abbots Road estate will benefit from earlier journeys to Selby, following requests from the community and local councillors. Service 401 will divert around the estate from 5 January instead of service 476. This also means new connections from Abbots Road estate to Goole.
- Camblesforth, Snaith and Rawcliffe will benefit from a later trip on service 401 following a request made by one of our customers at the recent Bus Surgery meeting.
- Staynor Hall estate will benefit from being reconnected to the bus network following requests made at the recent Bus Surgery meeting. The previous service 5 ended when the developer funding came to an end. From 5 January, service 8 will operate this diversion. We are also taking on the feedback raised at the Bus Surgery and we are preparing to cover more of the estate, subject to a satisfactory Route Risk Assessment which will be undertaken with our Trade Union colleagues shortly.
- Thorpe Willoughby will benefit from buses diverting via Fox Lane and Field Lane. Buses will now continue along Barff Lane to/from Selby providing new links to Selby War Memorial Hospital. This change is made following requests from the community and the MP.
- Brayton will benefit from double the number of buses, with services running to/from Selby up to every 30 minutes Monday to Saturday daytime, as well as a direct hourly link to Leeds for the first time.
- Hambleton, Monk Fryston and South Milford will benefit from more direct buses to Leeds as most service 64 journeys become service 164 journeys instead, following requests from the community.
- Sherburn-in-Elmet will benefit from most service 164 journeys running direct to Leeds via Micklefield and Garforth, instead of serving the Industrial Estate first, following requests from the community. We will still run journeys to/from the Industrial Estate at key shift change times.
A summary document containing the full details of changes to each service is available on the below link. https://sherburninelmet.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Arriva-Yorkshire-January-Change-Change-Summary.pdf
New timetables will be available on our website in due course. We will also be promoting the changes on social media and using posters on our buses.
