ALL ABOARD THE BUS TO SILKWOOD PARK

From the WMDC Press and Communications Office

Arriva Yorkshire and Wakefield District Council have teamed up to promote Silkwood Park’s new bus service. The 105,106,107 service began at the end of January and local bus company Arriva and Wakefield District Council have put together a leaflet detailing all the latest travel information for people heading to Silkwood Park.

“Wakefield Council is keen to promote alternatives to travelling to work by car, and the availability of a local bus serving this new development is a bonus. We hope that local firms will see it as an opportunity to promote sustainable travel. We will be visiting companies on Silkwood Park and distributing the information about the new service,” said Peter Hemming Travel Awareness Manager.

Phil Stone, managing director for Arriva Yorkshire, said: “We are very pleased to be able to provide the bus service for the business park. We hope that people will make the most of the service and that they will take the opportunity to choose public transport and help reduce traffic congestion.”

Full timetable information is available on 0870 608 2 608 or via Arriva’s website. Look out for the new leaflet ‘Silkwood Park – Local bus service guide’ which will also be available on buses in Wakefield and from the Travel Centre at the bus station.
