CHRISTMAS 2017 is already a distant memory for many. Before the month of January ebbs away, I am asking Parliament today to reflect for a moment on plans for public transport on Boxing Day 2018. During the month of December for the last 15 years, I have been drawing attention to the lack of provision as the festive season approaches. This year I thought I would try something different and try and influence planning well in advance. Indeed, for the first time in nearly 40 years, there is now the realistic prospect of trains running on Boxing Day in God’s Own County.

KEIGHLEY MP John Grogan has lent support to a special bus service that helps townspeople get into the Yorkshire Dales. He took a trip on a DalesBus to Kettlewell then a short walk and pub lunch to get a taste of the delights opened up to hikers and daytrippers by the long-running service. After meeting DalesBus bosses he called on the Yorkshire Dales National Park authority to join West Yorkshire councils in funding the service.
