Essential shopping at Knaresborough’s newest supermarket is about to get easier as The Harrogate Bus Company plans to extend one of its routes to serve the store. Aldi opened its new store on 28 January, and since then the bus firm said its drivers have received several customer requests for journeys to serve the new supermarket.
The company’s service 1B from Harrogate and Knaresborough towards Eastfield will be rerouted to serve the new store, with buses running up to every 30 minutes.
The Harrogate Bus Company’s General Manager Frank Stanisauskis said: “Our driver Mark Evison initially raised the idea with us to change the route of our 1B buses to serve the new Aldi following suggestions from his customers, many of whom rely on us to reach essential shops and services during the current lockdown.
“Since then, several of our drivers have told us they’ve also received customer requests to run our buses to and from the new supermarket. We always welcome suggestions from our customers to further improve our service, and we’re delighted to be able to make this positive change.”
