A community bus company has performed so well that it has been short-listed for a £2m financial boost from the Government.
The Little Red Bus Company, which started four years ago as a not-for-profit charity, has spread its wings from Harrogate to Hawes, bringing services to people's doorsteps.
The company grew out of Harrogate District Community Transport as a dial-a-ride service for the elderly and disabled.
Now, it provides a lifeline service for a range of passengers.
The company has been shortlisted for the cash boost after earlier securing cash from the Rural Bus Challenge grants, which came from the Countryside Agency.
