First Bus York are running a FREE trial service on a Sunday in the Foxwood area linking to Askham Bar as a trial running into the Christmas period which they will then review in the new year. This follows the ending of a subsidised bus service run by the council, and so the continuation of the service will depend on First York.

Managing Director, Marc Bichtemann, comments: “At First York, we’re dedicated to providing our customers with the best service possible. We wanted to ensure that our customers in Bishopthorpe, Woodthorpe and Foxwood who want to travel into York in the run-up to Christmas, have the opportunity to do so. We will therefore be offering a free shuttle bus service to the Askham Bar Park & Ride from this Sunday, and look forward to welcoming our customers on board.”
