It's a shame they're missing the long weekend.
One operator starts their summer service ridiculously close (on a BH) and possibly not long enough to physically announce its presence to the world and we see Moors/Dalesbus missing out on the weekend completely.
Think Moorsbus started on May Day last year, unsure why they have reverted to starting to towards the end of May again this year, mind the weather forecast for this weekend isn't exactly fantastic if they were to start this weekend
At least the Arriva DalesBus 830 has (arguably) better connections this year as last year all you could connect with was the 833 at Ingleton which ran to Gisburn Forest and pretty much all you had time to do there was get a cuppa whereas this year, passengers from this neck of the woods can visit Settle once again which was something you couldn't do last year which caused some upset, was also some comments last year about the late start in the morning and sure enough, almost identical times again this year, most of these comments I picked up from overhearing discussions between passengers on the one Sunday I rode DalesBus last year.

Thus the round trip to Crook will be over 2 hours so a different vehicle will be needed for each ex Darlington departure. Not clear where this will be from - no interworking pattern is clear. The last 1B to Faverdale seems to work off a 7 board.
There's a 1B that arrives in Darlington at 23:16, so I would have thought that it would be more likely to that bus that does the 23:20 trip.
