City Zap Leeds - York alternative route

[Bayum]

On my way back from York yesterday (Sunday 11th July), I met a City Zap service between the ring road roundabout and Rufforth. Is this a usual alternative route? Was something going on with the A64 yesterday?

I don’t know what was going on but I also saw one outside of Wetherby racecourse heading eastbound.

Checking Twitter suggests issues caused by a vehicle fire the previous day and trying to do repairs at Bilbrough Top.

I've also seen them on the road between Tadcaster, Towton and down towards Aberford.

That's one of the route they can opt to take when its congested around the A1M/A64 junction

Via Rufforth must be due to a road closure, as that would involve missing out all the stops on Tadcaster Road

One travelled over Lendal Bridge towards the station yesterday too.

Crikey. They’re some fun roads to take a bus down!

I know right. Plenty of times I've been on a Coastliner too between York and Tadcaster which has been diverted down the single lane from Copmanthrope towards Colton and then through Bolton Percy, if the A64 has been shut which is even more fun. Especially when a bus comes the other way!

Not necessarily, turn south on the A1237 to the A64 and regain normal route
