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.

Coastliner Volvo B5TL Wright Gemini 3 3635 (BT66 MVU) has been named 'The Spirit of Tadcaster' at an event in Tadcaster today. It follows the reopening of the bridge into Tadcaster which was wiped out by floods. The 'Tadfaster' service has been withdrawn as a result.

Infrastructure
Proposals have been discovered for a revised exit layover at Leeds City Bus Station - which would improve reliability on services that currently head south out of the city (as well as the Megabus services) plus introduce a separate entrance to the Coach Station side removing the need for coaches to operate through the bus side.

They are not having much luck with regards to fire it would seem. Such a shame.
