DalesBus 74 will continue running from Otley and Ilkley to Bolton Abbey, Burnsall and Grassington every Saturday throughout the winter.

The bus leaves Otley Bus Station at 0953 and Ilkley Bus Station at 1020, 1230 and 1550, returning from Grassington at 1130, 1450 and 1700, and from Bolton Abbey at 1158, 1518 and 1728.

On Sundays several DalesBus services will continue running from West Yorkshire at similar times all winter, including Cravenlink service 864 from Bradford and Ilkley to Skipton and Malham; Cravenlink service 873 from Ilkley to Bolton Abbey and Skipton, and DalesBus service 874 from Wetherby, Leeds, Otley and Ilkley to Bolton Abbey, Grassington, Kettlewell and Buckden.

Summer Sunday DalesBus services 820 and 821 to Nidderdale and Ripon and DalesBus services 875 and 876 to Upper Wharfedale, Aysgarth and Hawes have however now finished for the winter.

As part of the national initiative to reduce the cost of bus travel the maximum single fare on each service is still just £3, with under 19s travelling for £1. Elderly and disabled bus passes are also valid for free travel on all these services.

Full details are available online at www.dalesbus.org and in new timetable leaflets available shortly from the usual places, including the travel centre at Leeds City Bus Station.
