MOORSBUS
Moorsbus is operating a reduced service this year owing to reductions in financial support, and will run from 2nd July to 28th August 2023. The lines serving Coxwold are shown below.
Moorsbus M5 (Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays) provides weekend supplements to the Arriva weekday services.
Moorsbus M31 (Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays) provides weekend supplements to the Reliance weekday services. The M31 stops at Coxwold Garage (on Byland Road), on its route between York and Kirkbymoorside (Saturdays) or Helmsley (Sundays/PHs).
Both services interchange with other Moorsbuses, providing a network of routes through the North Yorks Moors National Park.
