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.
