Buses - Bus services in Harrogate and Districts

Exciting Improvements to Your Harrogate Bus Services from 27 October

We are making some key changes to our bus services in Harrogate to offer you better connections and more reliable timetables. Here is what is new:

Route 1: Harrogate – Knaresborough

In collaboration with North Yorkshire Council, we are adding more buses during peak times and improving the overall timetable for reliability. Additional drivers and buses will help manage increasing traffic on Knaresborough Road.

Route 1C/1D Update: We are merging the 1C and 1D into one route. The 1C will now extend to the Bar Lane roundabout, near The Pastures development, every 30 minutes, replacing the 1D. This means more frequent buses, as well as evening and Sunday services for residents of The Pastures and Castle Locke, both within walking distance.

Sunday Evening Buses: We are adjusting Sunday evening times to improve connections in Harrogate and introducing evening services on the 1B as well.

Our new app is full of the features you have come to love with Transdev Go, including journey planner, bus tracker and a way to buy your tickets before you board. We’re working hard in the background to improve the app based on your feedback over the coming days, weeks and months and welcome any comments – drop us an email to appfeedback@transdevbus.co.uk and let us know your views – we want to continuously improve our service with you. Our new app gives us a platform to deliver some of the most anticipated features from you and we look forward to sharing more soon.

In partnership with North Yorkshire Council, with funding from the housing developer, the new 4 will link King Edwin Park, the Army Foundation Park and Harrogate West Business park with the town centre. It will run every hour 7am to 7pm Monday to Saturday and also serve Skipton Road and Ripon Road.

The route will change on Otley Road and in Pannal Ash so we pick up on the opposite side of the road – this follows customer requests.
