“I remember the first one we ran in 1992 which we ran as a
protest against the removal of services over the holiday period. Since then
some services have been resumed in some areas in recent years on Boxing Day”
Newsome Green Party Councillor Karen Allison who has also
been a volunteer on the bus service said
“I really enjoy doing the bus service each year and it is
now very much part of my Christmas holiday
routine. At this time of year when
there are limited public transport services taxi journeys can be expensive
particularly from rural villages so people who use the minibus we operate
really do value it. We put timetables on bus stops and in local shops so people
are aware of our schedule. The service is free to use but donations towards
fuel costs are always welcome. A copy of our timetable is below.”
The minibus is now provided by Kirklees Council through
Commodle which provides a wide range of Council equipment for community
activities.
The 2 services provided are on Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.
On Boxing Day a service connects Grange, Moor and Flockton with Huddersfield
Town Centre and on New Years Day the service runs from Berry Brow,Newsome into
Town and on the Huddersfield Royal Infirmary.”
