Excursions 2005

Join our trips and excursions throughout the summer on our vintage half-cab buses, capturing the spirit of England's rural history.

In 2005 you can experience vintage travel on one of our scheduled services on a Tuesday or join us for a holiday 'on the buses'!

Tuesdays  (29th March - 25th October)
ROUTE 569 - Hawes. 

This once a day service goes from Ravenstonedale via Kirkby Stephen & the scenic Mallerstang Valley to the lively town of Hawes on market day (Tuesday). We stop at Hawes Creamery, home of Wensleydale cheese, and Hawes Station in good time for lunch. Your bus ticket entitles you to great special offers at various shops and attractions. The views from the bus are terrific and the leisurely pace allows time for contemplation and conversation. This is also a hail and ride service so we can pick you up and drop you anywhere along the route.
Staff allowing (in other words if Alison is free) then we have a guided tour through the Mallerstang.  
If you know your plans please book ahead so we can put on an extra bus if necessary although this is a regular service bus, so we go regardless.

569 Timetable, dates and prices.

Route 570 - Ribblehead.

The bus leaves Hawes during the middle of the day to travel along the fantastic dales valley to Ribblehead Viaduct and Station on the famous Settle-Carlisle Railway Line. We stop there for an hour to catch two trains, so if you don't need a train there's plenty of time to visit the small station museum, walk to the viaduct or enjoy a scrumptious pub lunch at The Station Inn. We leave in time to return to Hawes for the rest of the 569 route.
