Moors bus - the green way to explore the North York Moors

Image Source

Moorsbus is a bus service that is designed to help people explore the North Yorkshire Moors and in doing so reduce the number of vehicles that use the roads in and around the Moors. Traffic is a big problem for the North Yorkshire Moors and you only need to spend five minutes at the top of Sutton Bank near Thirsk counting the cars that pass the Visitor's Centre to appreciate the problem.

There is a network of Moorsbuses that run every Sunday and Bank Holiday during the Spring and Summer months with a daily service available on most routes during the school summer holidays. There are various Moorsbus routes and the good news for anyone wanting to travel is that there are "All Day Travel" tickets available that offer unlimited travel on certain routes and on many routes children travel free with fee paying adults. Tickets for rail and bus can be combined which makes for an excellent day out.

The Moorsbus started this year on Sunday 1st April and runs until 28th October. Anyone interested in planning a route please visit the North Yorks Moors website where all the timetable information can be found.
