Coach service to York with Leeds Bradford International
Coach operator First York is planning a new service that will link York with Leeds Bradford International Airport.
The initiate is being launched by the operator, the City of York Council, Yorkshire Forward and the York Tourism Bureau and the service is planned to commence on March 1st 2007.
Peter Edwards, commercial director of First York, told the York Press: "All our partners have something to gain out of this service becoming a success and I do not think it will be long before we will be carrying a significant number of passengers."
Mr Edwards added that the operator has "valuable experience" in providing "high-quality airport feeder services" throughout the country.
In order to supply the new link, First York has purchased three new 'express' coaches, which will run every hour between the city and the international airport.
First, of which First York is part, states that it is the "UK's largest surface transportation company", reporting revenue of £3 billion per year and operating a fifth of all local bus services.
