The Ring to Ride service is run by the community of the two dales of Swaledale and Arkengarthdale and managed in partnership with the Richmondshire Council for Voluntary Services.
Wherever people live, they need to travel for work, pleasure and to access essential services. In the rural areas of the two dales, there are many people who cannot access public transport or do not drive due to age, disability or affordability.
This project aims to assist people who live and work in the two dales, by providing a community transport service. Our aim is to meet the needs of the individual who cannot reasonably access public transport, by providing accessible transport with pick up and drop off from members homes. This service can be used for needs such as travel to day centres, education and training providers, driving test centres, hospital appointments and visiting, Doctors appointments, visiting the Post Office and the supermarket. Young people may use this service to access sport and youth clubs and social events.
We also offer an extensive seasonal trips brochure, to places and events of interest, such as historic homes, gardens, markets as well as shopping days to places like Carlisle, York and the Lakes. |

We have our own lunch club every month, the main aim of this is to get people out and about and meeting others for lunch and usually a bit of shopping. This has proved so popular that we now do it twice each month.
If you are group wishing to travel together there are 9 seats including the driver and the bus can be hired with or without a driver for days out.
We are very proud of the service we offer and are committed to the community needs and if you wish to find out more about us then call Gail on 880021 or pop in to Hudson House, Reeth, or email: rdctransport@hudsonhouse.info
Ring to Ride is a membership only scheme, it costs £1 per year to join and anyone in the community can join.
