Bus between Harrogate and Yorkshire Dales to continue throughout winter A bus service that connects Harrogate and Knaresborough with the Yorkshire Dales is set to continue into the winter months for the first time.

It runs every Saturday from Knaresborough at 09:05am and Harrogate at 09:25am via Otley to Ilkley, Bolton Abbey, Burnsall and Grassington. The bus returns from Grassington at 5pm and Ilkley at 5:45pm. Full details of the times and stops are available online at www.dalesbus.org/74. DalesBus 59 Saturday DalesBus 59 to Skipton also continues all year, but is operating a temporary revised route and timetable during the closure of the A59 at Kex Gill until mid-November. DalesBus 24 from Harrogate to Pateley Bridge in Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty continues running seven days a week throughout the year, operated by the Harrogate Bus Company.
