Malham Tarn Shuttle on Video

One of three Dales Bus services to operate from Lancaster, service 881 "The Malham Tarn Shuttle" actually starts in Morecambe then from Lancaster makes its way up the Lune Valley to Kirkby Lonsdale before turning eastwards to Ingleton, Clapham, Austwick and Settle.  From Settle it takes to the hills  via Langcliffe to Malham Tarn before dropping down to terminate in Malham village.

The bus runs every Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday between 1st April and 21st October so there is still plenty of time to enjoy a ride.  But if you can't make it - or if you can't wait for your next free Sunday, you can get a taster of what's in store via one of two videos produced by Bus Users' Group member Colin Kennington and made available on the Dales Bus Website.

The nine minute preview is, as the name suggests, a brief introduction whilst the Extended Version (38 minutes) includes a driver's eye view of the full route between Settle and Malham.

The Malham Tarn Shuttle Bus runs every Sunday and Bank Holiday until 21st October 2018 with financial support from Northern, the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority and the Friends of the Dales, as part of the DalesBus network.  Details of bus and train services into and around the Yorkshire Dales are available at www.dalesbus.org
