Pride in every journey
We're promoting expression, acceptance and awareness for the LGBTQ+ community in our business by taking part in York Pride parade and festival this June!
York Pride
The completely free event will be taking place on Saturday 7th June with a host of exciting activities throughout the day. The parade route begins in York City Centre and will end at Knavesmire where there will be a festival site with plenty of entertainment, food and drink, plus live music!
We'll be bringing along one of our 100% electric buses to be part of the parade, so give us a wave when you see us in the crowd. You'll also get to see it parked up at the festival site on Knavesmire where our colleagues will have a stall with games and freebies to be won. Pop by to say hello and grab yourself a souvenir.
Our Askham Bar Park & Ride service (3/3A) will pick up and drop off at the Mount Vale stops on Tadcaster Road on Saturday 7th June to provide easier access to the Knavesmire festival site.
Visit the York Pride website to find out more information about the day.
