Whitby to Lealholmside 95 bus service cutbacks as new 96 service set to begin
and live on Freeview channel 276
From April 2, this service will now operate between Sleights and Sainsbury’s only, on a reduced frequency hourly off peak.
The Sunday service is withdrawn owing to low use on the bus network, says Arriva, and the reduction in Service 95 frequency follows the end of an existing contractual arrangement, which has now been replaced by Service 96.
