Wonder how Team Pennine are doing the most advertising I see for TransDev is when they have free/£1 ride on the harrogate electric buses.
(23 Sep 2022, 9:25 pm)Jimmi I went off using the service after intending to catch it from Leeds to York one Sunday when they only operated half a service all day and had to sprint across Leeds to catch a train to meet a connection at York to continue to Darlington.
I've heard accounts that the York routes are (or at least have been) pretty bad for cancellations from driver shortages and its been an issue even before the global shortage and it was the more rural routes that seemed to get shafted, things quickly went to hell after they took on former Stephensons of Easingwold routes and drivers quickly jump ship and was always the 31X was always the casualty at the time with the section between Easingwold and Helmsley only operating every 2 hours so was frequently left with a 4 hour gap in service whilst ZAP would carry on without issue, I also suspected that during a time when a lot of ZAP B7TLs were off they nicked the B10BLE's off the 31X and instead allocated them to ZAP.
