Earlier and later times added to York Park and Ride bus network
Earlier and later buses have been added to York's Park and Ride timetable. Changes that took effect on Sunday (June 20) mean that services will now arrive in York city centre by 5.45am (7.45am on Sundays), and will depart from the city centre at 10.30pm (every day). This applies to services 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, and 59. Councillor Kate Ravilious, executive member for transport at City of York Council, said: "Whether you're catching an early morning train, finishing an overnight shift, or enjoying a night out in York, this expansion is part of our commitment to giving people more travel options and making York a cleaner, more affordable, and more sustainable city." First Bus has also increased frequency across the Park and Ride network. Until September 7, additional buses will operate on weekdays on all services, and also on Saturdays on routes 7 and 8. Normal timetables will run on Sundays. For more information, visit and

New Rotherham park and ride site opens
A new park and ride site for tram train passengers has opened next to Rotherham's Parkgate Shopping Centre. The free 289-space car park is part of a £12.9m project to improve transport connections across South Yorkshire. Money for the site, which includes 14 EV chargers, cycle racks, disabled access spaces, and parking for solo motorcycles, has come from the government's £166m Transforming Cities Fund. Chris Read, leader of Rotherham Council, said: "The new Park and Ride is a real win for Rotherham – it's about making everyday journeys easier, greener and more accessible for local people. "Whether you're hopping on the Tram Train, cycling to the shops, or charging an EV, this investment helps us cut congestion, reduce emissions, and build a better-connected future for our town," he added. The money was also used to build a new link road to make it easier for people to reach the shopping park and reduce traffic congestion on the A633 and A6123. South Yorkshire's Mayor Oliver Coppard said: "South Yorkshire deserves nothing less than a world-class public transport network so our communities can access the jobs and opportunities they deserve; and that we can all stay near and go far." Mark Kanaris, senior operations manager for Parkgate Shopping Park, added: "This investment will have a daily impact, benefitting the hundreds of people who work here and the thousands of visitors who enjoy our big name stores and restaurants each week."
