There will be changes to some local bus services over the Easter weekend, including the start of summer season DalesBus services into the Yorkshire Dales National Park on Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays.

On Good Friday 18th April local buses will run a Saturday service, excluding Dalesbus 74.

On Easter Saturday 19th April a normal Saturday bus service will run, including DalesBus 74 to Bolton Abbey, Burnsall and Grassington. This leaves Ilkley at 1020, 1220 and 1600; returning from Grassington at 1120, 1500 and 1700.

On Easter Sunday 20th April and Bank Holiday Monday 21st April buses will run a Sunday service. Double-decker DalesBus services 875 and 876 to Grassington, Upper Wharfedale, Aysgarth and Hawes will restart for the summer, leaving Ilkley Bus Station at 1020 and 1115 and returning from Wensleydale Creamery in Hawes at 1422 and 1622 every Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday.

Cravenlink Sunday and Bank Holiday buses 864 and 873 between Ilkley and Skipton will continue largely unchanged for the summer, but the 1735 bus from Skipton will run via Embsay and Bolton Abbey providing a later journey back to Ilkley from Bolton Abbey at 1800.
