IBIS Ward Councillor David Harrington is delighted to receive notification from Arriva North East that the company will be introducing late evening and Sunday/Bank Holiday bus services in Ingleby Barwick.

Arriva will today register revised timetables with the Traffic Commissioner. These new timetables will be implemented on Sunday 20th July 2014.

The main changes will include:-

*Service 17 will provide an hourly evening and Sunday/Bank Holiday service.
*Slight timetable changes for the morning Service 17 to help students travelling to Yarm and Eaglescliffe.
*Slight timetable changes for Service X17 to address punctuality issues.

Timetable information will be available directly from Arriva North East ahead of the changes in July.

Councillor Harrington welcomes these changes as a positive move for the whole community. Speaking about the changes, Councillor Harrington said: "For the past 8 years, Ingleby Barwick has suffered significant reductions in bus services. I am sure the community will welcome these changes. I hope more people will join me and leave the car at home and travel by public transport. I am committed to working with any bus operator who is prepared to deliver a sustainable bus service for our growing community and surrounding villages".
