Thriving communities: Earlier & later buses

First Bus and City of York Council have announced extended hours for all six of York’s Park and Ride services to support residents, commuters, visitors and York’s hospitality industry.

From Sunday 20 July, the first bus will leave each Park and Ride site at 5.30am. The new timings will allow shift workers and those catching early trains to use the Park and Ride, which costs just £3.90 for an adult return. For example for residents travelling out of York, five of the six sites directly serve York railway station and the first service will arrive at the station by 5.45am – Rawcliffe (2/2A), Monks Cross (9), Designer Outlet (7), Poppleton (59) and Askham Bar (3). The remaining one, Grimston (8), serves Piccadilly, in the city centre.

In the evening, the last services will leave the city centre at 10.30pm, bringing all sites up to the same time for the first and last bus.

The timings extension is being funded by York’s Bus Service Improvement Plan, supported by the Department for Transport.
