Great Yorkshire Show 13th - 15th July 2010

The annual Great Yorkshire Show takes place on the Showground from Tuesday 13th July to Thursday 15th July.

Free Shuttle Buses to the Great Yorkshire Show

We're running free shuttle buses regularly between Harrogate Bus Station and the Showground for the three days of the show.

From Harrogate Bus Station, the first bus of the day leaves at 0730, with buses running regularly all day until the last bus at 1945 (Tuesday/Wednesday) and 1850 (Thursday).

From the Showground, the first bus of the day leaves at 0750, with buses running regularly all day until the last bus at 2000 (Tuesday/Wednesday) and 1900 (Thursday).

This service is run in partnership with the Yorkshire Agricultural Society.

If you're coming to the show, come and see us - we'll be on the 'Welcome to Yorkshire' stand, which is close to the white and grey gates, stand number 643.

Diversions on route 770 in Harrogate

Between Harrogate Bus Station and Follifoot buses on route 770 usally run along Wetherby Road and Rudding Lane, but the stops on Rudding Lane will not be served for the three days of the show.

Most stops on Wetherby Road will be served, but the usual bi-directional traffic management will apply during the morning and afternoon, so buses will be diverted away from Wetherby Road at certain times of day, as detailed below:

Delays to all services

General delays can be expected for the three days of the show, as traffic in the Harrogate area is expected to be much heavier than normal.

As always, our duty managers will be using the satellite-based bus tracking equipment fitted to all of our buses to monitor the situation, and, along with our driving staff, will do all they can to ensure buses leave Harrogate as close to time as possible, and we thank customers for their understanding and patience at this busy time.
