Moorsbus
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 Rover" tickets available that offer unlimited travel on certain routes and as is in the case of the Esk Valley Rail Line that runs to Whitby, the tickets for rail and bus can be combined which makes for an excellent day out.
The Moorsbus started this year (2008) on Sunday 16th March and runs until Sunday 26th October and anyone interested in planning a route should go to the North Yorks Moors website where all the timetable information can be found by following this link.
