IN FOCUS CONNEXIONS BUSES

摘要

Based: Head office Green Hammerton, York. Depot at Southfield Lane, Tockwith, North Yorkshire. Founded: 2002 as Harrogate Coach Travel (still the company name) when Craig Temple, operations manager for Eddie Brown Tours, won contracts for tendered Ripon-York/Boroughbridge routes surrendered prematurely by Harrogate & District. Later lost this work to Arriva, but registered enough of the service to run commercially. Minibuses in Ripon ran originally as Ripon City Buses and Leyland Lynx with Selby & District names competed with Arriva on Selby-York route, Arriva having extinguished the name from its buses. First new bus, Optare Solo L50 LOW (YX57AUY) purchased 2007. Rebranded as Connexions Buses March 2011. Relocated last year from Tockwith Airport to present depot.
