The popular Saturday bus service between Harrogate and Skipton will be running again from this weekend, following the reopening of the A59 at Kex Gill.
DalesBus 59 to Blubberhouses, Bolton Bridge and Skipton has been temporarily suspended due to the emergency closure of the A59 road at Kex Gill following a landslip on New Year’s Day.
Work to remove more than 2,000 tonnes of debris, install new drainage channels and apply about 100 tonnes of clean stone to stabilise the area has now been completed, and the road reopened yesterday (Thursday).
Double-decker DalesBus 59 runs to Blubberhouses, Bolton Bridge and Skipton every Saturday, leaving Harrogate Bus Station at 0935, 1150, 1445 and 1645; and returning from Skipton Bus Station at 1045, 1250, 1545 and 1745.
The full timetable is available online at www.dalesbus.org/59 and in leaflets from local outlets, including Harrogate Bus Station.
In common with local bus services the maximum single fare on these routes is £3, with under 16s travelling for just £1, with senior citizen and disabled bus passes also valid.
