The bus services across pretty much the whole of North Yorkshire is dire, there's absolutely no evening services anywhere around Northallerton / Bedale / Leeming Bar / Thirsk etc and even then most they've got is token 3 buses a day service etc.

People just don't use buses in places like them and if the council won't fund bus services then the obvious happens.

Loads of places have faced a similar fate. Services decimated since 2012, thanks to the political choice of Government austerity. Councils would love to fund them, but they simply haven't the money to do so. They've lost around 40% funding (each year) over more than a decade.

There was a paper released by Better Transport years ago, questioning whether what Councils have done is actually legal: https://bettertransport.org.uk/wp-conten...duties.pdf
