Dial & Ride THE RYEDALE ROVER

The Ryedale Rover is an on-demand small bus service which operates across Ryedale. There are no set routes, instead vehicles are allocated to separate areas or zones. On different days, the buses will travel from Ryedale villages into Helmsley, Pickering, Thirsk, Malton and Norton.

Weekly markets, farm shops and garden centres are some of the popular destinations, but we are open to suggestions from residents that have additional places of interest they would like to visit.

As a charity our aim is to provide an affordable service to those who would otherwise be isolated at home. Places need to be pre-booked by midday the day before the journey by calling the dedicated booking line 07399 214083.

The service only collects from dedicated collection points, not from your home, and concessionary passes are not valid on this service.

Further details can be found at www. ryedalect.org/services/the-RyedaleRover. Or call 01653 699059 and speak to one of our friendly members of staff.

WE CAN TRANSPORT YOU IN YOUR OWN WHEELCHAIR We have specially adapted vehicles to take you wherever you need to go. Our biggest vehicle can take up to four wheelchairs and four seated passengers.

Ideal for social events or hospital visits. If you live in Ryedale we can help you make your journey.

OUR VOLUNTEERS TRANSPORT YOU IN THEIR OWN CAR Once enrolled, we will collect you at your door, take you to your destination and wait up to 2 hours before bringing you home.

Our drivers have volunteered because they enjoy meeting and helping people. Journeys are charged at just 45p per mile. There is a minimum charge of £4.50.
