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The Sunday service is withdrawn owing to low use on the bus network, says Arriva, and the reduction in Service 95 frequency follows the end of an existing contractual arrangement, which has now been replaced by Service 96.

Lealholmside will be covered by service 96 while an additional journey at 7.56am from Whitby to Sleights is introduced.
