A WEEKDAY bus service is returning to Naburn tomorrow, after the closure of Utopia Coaches.
City of York and North Yorkshire councils have been working together since the bus services stopped on August 22, and new services will start tomorrow, Monday, September 11.
A new peak journey (service X26) starting in Stillingfleet will call at Naburn Front Street at 7:35am, stopping at both Piccadilly and Stonebow in York.
A peak time afternoon journey back on the 26 service leaves York railway station at 18:11 and will reach Naburn via Piccadilly, Fulford Road, Naburn Front Street and then Stillingfleet.
There is also a 16-seater free shuttle bus (service 426) which will call at Naburn on its way through villages from Selby to York. It will call at Naburn on its York-bound journey at 11:14 and 13:25, and leave York for Naburn at from Piccadilly (by the old Banana Warehouse) at 13:45.
However, passengers are warned that the shuttle service is likely to be busy, and there is a risk all the seats will be taken by the time it reaches Naburn.
Full details of the limited timetable are available on bus stops in the village, and at www.itravelyork.info.
Councillor Ian Gillies, York's executive member for transport, said: “This service gives people in Naburn a vital connection to York centre after the collapse of their commercially-run bus service.
“While we appreciate that this is a limited service, it is the best we can provide at short notice.
"We will continue to work with North Yorkshire County Council and bus operators to find a long-term service for Naburn.”
