Whitby service changes from 26th January 2014
Service 91 will no longer operate
Service 94 will run to a revised timetable with basic frequency cut from every 20 mins to every 30 mins
Service 95 will be revised to run as a service 95/96 in a loop every 30 mins to Sleights. 95 will run to Sleights via Ruswarp, returning direct via Guisborough Road, while 96 will run in the opposite direction each once an hour.
This means the PVR of town services drops from 3 to 2.
From Easter, the new Whitby Park & Ride will start running from the new build site at Crossbutts on the A171 road out to Guisborough. Buses will run every 15 minutes operating via a loop in the town centre, including the bus station giving links with other services. This will be operated by Arriva with 2 vehicles, which is likely to be Solos. The service will run until the end of October between 0800-1900 every day.
Also starting around the same time is the new "Esk Valley Hopper" which will be a new tourist service running from Whitby to Danby via Ruswarp, Sleights, Grosmont, Egton Bridge and Lealholm every hour between 0900-1600. This will run at weekends and every day during the peak summer holiday season (kids holidays basically) between Easter and October. It will be operated by Coastal & Country.
