Post 3999 above "When the new Enviro 400EVs enter service at Harrogate in the summer..."

It was the availability of a replacement vehicle. Two E400s were quickly dispensed with by changing to two singles two doubles on the X98/X99. The arrival of B9 2428 allowed the third to go while the arrival of B9 2427 was meant to see 2017 disappear also to Burnley but Starbeck has hung on it...

Harrogate will still need some B9s for the X98 / X99

Presumably, if they are leased, the lease terms make sense to keep them a while longer.

The 4 is not mentioned in the timetable case at the Norwich Drive stop, didn't look to see if the 3 timetable was the new one but the 59 times were clearly dispalyed without anything to say it was suspended. The only other stops on the A59 Skipton Road are an opposing pair of school bus (+59)...

The 4 is being interworked with the 6 outside peak periods and that now means their is a requirement for all seven active Volvo Electrics to be in in use weekday peaks. 805 which has not worked since last May (tracking since on Bustimes is of incorrectly set ticket machines) is reported by the...

Theres a new issue with the both apps this week as the Harrogate Electrics at the Norwich Drive stop on the A59 with them both showing both the 3 and 4 going to the Bus Station whereras the latter definately is not to be used for such. The Passenger app does behave showing the outbond...

The new app and website has the new Harrogate route 4 on it, which is pretty much of an express service along the Skipton Road inbound with no additional stops provided so only using one previously school bus only stop. Outbound is using the opposing stop to that and the existing route 3 stop at...

Wasn't the whole point of shifting some to York to cut dead runs to/from Malton

How do you make 7 from Malton when 8 workings start there ?

The new Coastliner timetable has been published https://www.transdevbus.co.uk/media/lejdrevv/240312-coastliner-web.pdf Weekdays eight workings start at Malton, four at York and two at Tadcaster (worked no doubt from York)

Oddity in Harrogate today - none of the Electrics are in use. The 2/3/6/X6 are being worked by a Gemini and a number of "Starbus" Omnideckers.

The old app is still working, bar the purchase of tickets. Take a screenshot of your tickets every few hours for safety and when the old app does stop working take a screenshot of your latest screenshot so that you have one with the date and time on the screenshot.

The new website also has been launched which is equally bad. Some but not all services on the web site have the option to download the proper timetable but that which is otherwise shown on the website and in the app have a stack of services shown as running schooldays only e.g. every third...

No - it was a bundle of 10 day tickets, was down to two when I rasied the query and now just one left. The live departures issue was a fault with the Passenger app as well - I have stood at a stop watching it claimingh to be live tracking couninmg down to an arriving time only for no bus to...
