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.

I wonder how much the services have been reduced in areas like those you mention, when compared with the days of United who had a depot in Northallerton?

I suspect even then there wouldn't have been much on an evening, but I'm not sure. Either way, I think demand responsive transport will be the best way forward for many rural areas.
