Bettys stroy starting in Harrogate in 1919 has made afternoon
tea the height of fashion throughout
England.
Before you enter Bettys Tea Room, you will notice the wrought
iron canopy that stands above you, andfeast your eyes on the
delicious cakes and window displays. Greeted with a warm welcome
and led to
your table either in the Imperial Room or the Montepellier Cafe
Bar, you will notice the dining style is that
of the cosmopolitan cities of Switzerland and France.
The menu is vast with selections of continental-style sandwiches
and lled rolls, handmade cakes, tortes
and patisserie. Enjoy a Tea for Two with delicious scones with
clotted cream and strawberry preserve,
dont forget to use the tea strainer to have the perfect
brew.
On a early crisp October afternoon travelling on the Route 36
surrounded by beautiful surroundings we
drove past Bettys and knew we had to venture in. The
eye-catching exterior drew us in. Arriving at Bettys
we saw the stunning window displays of Halloween treats with
parcels and packages, from pumpkins
and witches to novelty biscuits.
We were welcomed and greeted by a smartly dressed waitress who
led us to our table in the
Montepellier Cafe Bar. Taking in the atmosphere, enjoying the
company of fellow diners of all ages, we
noticed a fond memory most of us have, a grandma and
granddaughter enjoying their afternoon tea
straight from school.
We enjoyed tea, sandwhiches and scones, with high class table
service. The food was excellent
prsented on silver tiers. Our experience was more than we
expected and visiting Bettys is a must.

36 wins Route of
As i stood at the busy bus station, it was
apparent that the 36 had
arrived. The bold bus entered the bus sta-tion with a distinct
presence on the road.
From here I knew I had to speak to the
main man behind this unique bus. Speak-
ing to Nigel Eggelton (managing director)
When asked if it was the companies invi-
sion to create such a bold bus on the road
he said: Yes we did have that invisionin mind, we really wanted
to create a
unique bus experience and to enjoy it
as part of their day out and not just a
mode of transport.
Nigel also shared his delight about win-
ning the Route of the year award. Weare delighted that we have
won this
award, weve workedhard to get this far
and its made very proud.This is fan-
tastic for Transdev (the bus company) and
an inspiration for future projects and other
bus companies. Which poses questions
to whether other bus companies will copy
the idea of a luxary bus on longer routes.
We asked Nigel his thoughts on this, he
said: Were not afraid of copcats,
its just great that people look up to
what weve achieved. He then added:
Recently transport action groups
have been pressing for more capacity
on the rail route between Harrogateand Leeds. Were not in direct
com-
petition with the trains but during the
day a journey from Harrogate to Leeds
can take just 45 minutes and if your
speaking with
bus stop and the destination are well
placed the door-to-door journey can be
quicker on the no36.
On average there are over a hundred
people a day using the 36 bus route
and this gure is constantly growing. An
extra 20,000 extra seats a month have
are being added on the routes between
Leeds Harrogate and Ripon on the no36.Transdev has introduced
more seats and
extra journeys on its agship 36 route
between Ripon, Harrogate and Leeds as
they have seen an increase in passengers
and want to provide the best quality of
travel for them. Nigel explained, Weve
seen a remarkable growth in passen-ger numbers on the no36 over
the past
few years. Its a classic example of
how modern comfortable buses with
bright attractive interiors can encour-
age new passengers and tempt people
to leave their cars at home.Services
will now run every 15 minutes throughout
the daytime from Monday to Saturday.
After travelling on the bus a number of
times, Ive found its very comfortable and
there is more room than other buses Ive
been on. The design is exclusive to the
36 buses and at the height of modern day
technology. When asking Nigel on thethe concept of desgin and
whether the
passengers really appreciate the comfort,
as as if it attracts people to use the bus
instead of others he said: Weve been at

the year award...Nigel Eggelton.
After hearing the news of the Onemillion pound revamp I was
curi-
ous to know why they are planning
o revamp the buses further lateext year. Were looking to
advance
urther in our future, with other bus
ompanies attempting to copy us and
ur concept we need to keep ahead ofhe game.
Speaking to a local bus driver ofone of the buses, he agreed
the
ew buses are fantastic but he
opes the revamp will help the
power/technical flaws the busses
urrently have. The engines arenthat powerful for the size of
the
ehicle. Nigel responded these
ueries: We are looking to focus the
evamp on enhancing the bus power
nd speed as well as technical issues
he drivers have. Theres no point in
aving a good image bus if it doesnt
un well.
After speaking to Nigel, we have seen
e is very proud of the route 36 bus
nd it is clear the whole Transdev
he forefront with a number of innova-
ions in the last few years, not only
with the design of our buses but withatellite tracking systems
to improve
eliability andan award winning iPhonepp. The extra journeys and
seats arent
he end of things as well be unveiling
more exciting plans for the route in the
ext month or so.

spectacular bus. It is a great accom-
plishment for local transport andthe future only looks bright
for this
