The new brand that was teased before Christmas has been revealed.
'Otley Dash' for the 965 that was part of the old Wharfdale Links network, and the source of an interesting mini bus war between Transdev and Connexions with both companies running the same service with the same times.
It was also the only service on the Wharfdale Links network to have it's own dedicated route branded bus. In fact it was the only WL bus that was actually repainted, the rest just got Wharfdale Links branding over the Keighley livery.
The fleet number of 156 on the mock up suggests it could be an ex Keighley Jet running the service. The 965 is/was in the hands of a branded Dart MPD, fleet no 720.

Although only the 965 is mentioned, I wonder if the rest of the Wharfdale Links network will be rebranded? I know the 965 runs as a standalone service with one bus, but I don't know much about the rest of the network or how/if other services are interworked so could be easier said than done.

A dashing bus, new look and new link for Otley as the 965 extends to create a quick connection from Weston, Wharfedale Hospital & the town centre to the rail network at Menston from next month. #OtleyDash
