The Summer Saturday DalesBus service from Lancaster to Ingleton, Ribblehead and Hawes in the Yorkshire Dales National Park is making a welcome return from this weekend.

DalesBus 80 will run every Saturday throughout the summer from 4th April between Lancaster, Hornby, Bentham, Ingleton, Ribblehead Station and Hawes.  Buses leave Lancaster Bus Station at 0900 and 1530 returning from Hawes National Park Centre at 1105 and 1725

The timetable allows plenty of time to explore Hawes and the surrounding countryside, including the famous Hardraw Force waterfall at the Green Dragon Inn in Hardraw, the Dales Countryside Museum and Wensleydale Creamery.  Onward connections to Leyburn on Wensleydale Voyager minibus 156. DalesBus 80 also provides a useful service for trips to Lancaster and other places along the route.

DalesBus 80 is operated by Lonsdale Buses as part of the DalesBus network managed by Dales and Bowland Community Interest Company with support from Lancashire County Council and York & North Yorkshire Combined Authority.

The maximum single fare on the route is £3, under 19s travel for just £1 each way and concessionary bus passes are now valid too.

Full details of the service are available online at www.dalesbus.org/80 and in leaflets available at Lancaster bus station, Lancaster library and other local outlets

One thought on “Dales Bus is back this weekend.

  1. Not really linked to Lancaster, but sort of affecting Lancaster as it is concerning the Craven Connection bus service, but there may be possible permanent changes to the 580 between Settle and Skipton in a couple of weeks. 3 short workings each way between both places have been registered as withdrawn, these don’t continue through to/from Lancaster. Instead, Transdev have registered them as the replacement operator. Do we know why these changes are happening, as the current service has been reduced lately without being registered as a change.
