Buses of Yorkshire 2022-Ripon Variety

It's mid June 2022 and i'm visiting Ripon in North Yorkshire. Sadly there is no longer a rail line here but you can get a regular bus from Harrogate, the nearest rail head. We see Harrogate Buses, Dales & District plus a few small, council subsidise services plus the odd coach, finishing up with a parting shot in Harrogate.

A number of years ago - I traveled from Whitby to Leeds via Middlesbrough. I needed to get something in Middlesbrough. The route by bus (one single day ticket back then) took me through Northallerton and Ripon I did that very route you filmed - but back then was a Darlington to Ripon service every 2 hours. Great route but LONG! The whole trip took all day! 7am from Whitby arriving in Leeds some time after 7pm. But 90 mins were lost in Northallerton waiting for the bus to Ripon. 4 different bus companies! TEES, a local mini bus between Stokesly and Northallerton, United to Ripon and Harrogate and District to Leeds. No surprise it’s known as The Back of Beyond! Interesting all the same and a few memories! I had family in Ripon too back then. Nice little town.
