Transdev York is one of seven companies within the Blazefield Group. Blazefield is owned by Transdev, a large French transport operator and the sixth largest bus operator in the UK.

History

Formed in summer 2008, Transdev York comprises the former Top Line Travel business which includes local school services and the York City Sightseeing franchise and the local bus operations of Veolia Transport. Both businesses were based at the same depot in Fulford near York, where the combined Transdev York operation is now operated from. This new operation further expands Transdev Blazefield's operations in the York area which include Yorkshire Coastliner's Leeds to East Coast services and Harrogate & District's Harrogate services. Transdev York expanded further when the local service and open-top services of York Pullman were taken over on 26 February 2012.

City Sightseeing

York Tour Buses are operated by Transdev York under the City Sightseeing brand. The service offers hop on / hop off service with a number of stops across the historic city. Most buses have a pre-recorded CD commentary, however there is at least one bus per hour that uses a multilingual commentary via headphones, including a specialist children's commentary some buses carry a live guide in the summer season. There are two routes in the summer; Route A and Route B, each offer a clockwise circuit of the city with Route B serving the racecourse and Holiday Inn. Most buses are partially and fully open top, with three low floor vehicles recently introduced. City Sightseeing tours run all year round (except 24–26 December and 1 January).

Liveries

The company operates buses in several different liveries. Local bus services are operated in a new two tone blue livery with York branding. The York CitySightseeing livery which is red with illustrations of York landmarks and white Yorkshire roses. A number of vehicles carry Coastliner livery. Several vehicles taken over with the local bus services of York Pullman retain their former operator's livery until they can be repainted. The local bus service livery was formerly red & grey and two vehicles retain this at present.
