Thorpe Park to subsidise sustainable travel initiative

Thorpe Park Developments is to help fund an Arriva bus service through Thorpe Park Leeds and The Springs from this Sunday, capping the flat fare at £2.

Adam Varley, Development Director at Scarborough Group International, 50:50 joint venture partner of Thorpe Park Developments Ltd, said: “With more than 6,500 people working on the site, and thousands of visitors each week to The Springs, there is a strong demand for sustainable public transport connections which, as the Park reaches its next phase of maturity and as we add further workspace and amenities, the demand will further intensify.”

Arriva’s 165 and 164 bus services will run through Thorpe Park and The Springs at 15-minute intervals throughout the day, Monday to Saturday, with a slightly reduced frequency in the evenings, as well as on Sundays.

The bus services will provide convenient connections to nearby destinations including Cross Gates, Garforth, Sherburn, Selby, Kippax and Leeds City Centre. Arriva is offering a special family ticket price and £2 flat fares for all passengers.
