Dales & District 
A Dales & District Optare Solo.Parent Procters Coaches Headquarters Northallerton Service area North Yorkshire Service type Bus Routes 33 Destinations Darlington, Northallerton, Thirsk Web site Dales & District website Dales & District is a bus operator based in North Yorkshire, England.[1] Owned by Procters Coaches it has its main depot at Leeming Bar by the side of the A1.[2]
The company's original network included services up Wensleydale and around Northallerton. Following the announcement by Arriva North East that they were to close their depot in Richmond and stop running many rural services in the area Dales & District agreed to take on the operation of most of the council-funded rural services. This move saw a huge expansion in Dales & Districts operations with a large increase in the number of vehicles causing local disagreement due to the overnight storage of buses outside their Leeming Bar depot until it can be expanded. However, Dales & District has become the main bus operator for the north-west of North Yorkshire, including services to Darlington.
It operates the 73 service which provides a bus link for passengers on the Wensleydale Railway between their terminus at Leeming Bar railway station and mainline services at Northallerton railway station. From April 2010, the company took over the running of the 767 service from Harrogate to Leeds Bradford Airport from Harrogate and District[3], although the service only lasted a year, before being withdrawn due to budget cuts at North Yorkshire County Council [4]
