To help NHS staff at the Doncaster Royal infirmary travel to work in safety (and style), our Park and Ride service is now double deck.

CT Plus Yorkshire, a part of the HCT Group, has been providing a Park and Ride service from Doncaster Racecourse to Doncaster Royal Infirmary for several years. Delivered on behalf of the NHS, the idea is to ensure NHS staff can avoid congested and costly parking on site with a convenient free shuttle.     

To help with social distancing and improve service quality, we have just upgraded the route from a single deck to a smart modern double decker. The vehicle, which sports our distinctive ‘bus ivy’ livery as well as its route branding, also features interior information screens and next stop announcements. The new vehicle will start serving NHS staff from today.

“We’re delighted to be putting on an upgraded service for NHS staff” said Rhys Hand, Interim Regional Manager at CT Plus Yorkshire. “It’s come about through an effective partnership with Doncaster Royal Infirmary, who are really focussed on supporting their staff to get to work in safety and comfort. By working together, we think that it’s a service that can go from strength to strength.”
