Our mileage rate is unchanged and represents excellent value for our users Community trips remain unchanged at £5 per person.

The Minibus picks passengers up from Bedale and neighbouring villages and takes them to Northallerton every Wednesday for the Market and other amenities. The price for this service has just been lowered to £5 per person return journey. The service is a door to door service to aid passengers. This is a great service and a good way to meet people, especially if you live off the main bus routes. Please contact the office if you are interested in this service.

Welcome to the New Website. I hope you find it easier to navigate.
Life is beginning to get back to some kind of Normal, thankfully! We are planning to have another day trip in the minibus in March, just in time to get all your garden and Easter essentials. We are also busy putting together a package to be able to deliver MIDAS training for the local community, this will be a great asset as this training is essential in meeting the legal requirements for driving a mini bus.
