Selby Route 415 Adjusts for Parade Event
Arriva UK Bus route 415 diverts via Selby bypass for two hours during St George's Day Parade
Selby Route 415 Reroutes for St George's Parade
Arriva UK Bus route 415 will divert around central Selby for two hours during the St George's Day Parade, transit officials said. New Street closes between 14:30 and 16:30 on parade day, forcing buses onto the Selby bypass. Four stops along the regular route won't be served during the closure, affecting riders who typically board at River Street, John Street, Ardol Clock Tower, and Bocm Offices.
Annual Celebration Requires Street Closure
The St George's Day celebrations in Selby require the temporary closure of New Street to accommodate parade activities through the town center. Transit agencies typically reroute buses during community events when street closures prevent normal operations. The two-hour window allows the parade to proceed through central Selby while minimizing disruption to regular bus service. Officials said the diversion route via the bypass maintains connectivity between major stops outside the closure zone.
Bypass Route Skips Four Central Stops
The 415 services will use the Selby bypass during the closure period, avoiding the blocked section of New Street entirely. Riders who normally use River Street, John Street, Ardol Clock Tower, or Bocm Offices stops won't have service during the 14:30 to 16:30 window. The bypass routing keeps buses moving but adds travel time for passengers continuing beyond the affected area. Officials advised riders to plan alternative boarding locations or adjust travel times around the two-hour closure.
Two-Hour Disruption on Parade Day
The temporary closure runs from 14:30 to 16:30 on St George's Day, transit officials confirmed. Normal route 415 service will resume once New Street reopens after parade activities conclude. Arriva UK Bus didn't specify whether additional buses would be deployed to manage crowding from the service gap, and details about how frequently diverted buses will run weren't provided.
Riders Should Plan Around Closure Window
Passengers who rely on the four affected stops should expect no service during the afternoon closure and consider boarding at alternate locations along the route. Transit officials advised riders to allow extra travel time during the parade period.
