Take a look at @alextransdev's Tweet: https://twitter.com/alextransdev/status/...74240?s=09
Marketing ploy or a very good way of engaging with local customers?
It's nice to see a long term strategy being produced, and it'll be interesting to see what it means for Harrogate.

(16 Jan 2017, 1:44 pm)Andreos1 Interesting.
I am curious to see what they actually share that isn't commercially sensitive. Enough to engage customers, but not enough to give competitors a massive heads-up.

(16 Jan 2017, 6:45 pm)Adrian Me too. I hope it offers not only stability for customers, but an actual plan in place to increase patronage. I think their customer engagement is already right up there, and this is just another example of it, in my opinion!
I quite like what Transdev are doing with their networks. I've been over to Harrogate twice now for buses, and I've found it to be impressive. I plan to have another trip down when it's a bit warmer, and actually ride round on some of their local services.
What they've done with the 36 is equally as impressive. I've done Harrogate to Leeds twice on it now, and the quality of service is really second to none. I plan to try their new Coastliner offering in the coming months too.

(16 Jan 2017, 8:01 pm)Andreos1 I recommend Wetherby for a look if you are down there. There's a bit of variety too.
Cracking fish and chip shop more or less across the road from the bus station too.
On a slightly different note, WYPTE are wanting feedback on their Boxing Day services.
http://www.wymetro.com/news/Boxing_Day_Survey/ Nice to see them looking for feedback.
