Areas

One area running now. Five more as soon as there are enough dogs.

We open an area when there are enough dogs on it to run a full, sensible day — and when that area has a signed field, insurance that covers it and a settled licensing position. Everywhere else has a list, and the list genuinely decides the order.

Postcode check

Which run are you on?

The first half is enough, like BB7. We do not keep it unless you register.

What this can and cannot tell you

It is indicative and it is meant to be: a postcode district covers plenty of lanes a bus is not going up. The operational answer is your address, which a person looks at before your dog’s first adventure. We would rather be generous here and precise there.

The run that is going now

The towns above are in pick-up order, which is also the order everyone gets home in. Next-phase towns — West Bradford, Chatburn, Gisburn — are on the route's list but have no stop yet, and we say so rather than taking a booking we cannot keep.

What “coming soon” means here

It means we would like to serve that area and we are counting. It is not a date, not a season and not “shortly”. When an area is ready you get one email, the week it opens.

Five things have to be true before a route goes live: enough dogs registered on it, a signed field agreement within reach of the corridor, insurance that covers the group and the vehicle, a licensing position confirmed in writing by the right council, and two named handlers for every day it runs.

The map

Six spokes out of Settle

Not to scale, and not a road map: it is a route diagram, the way a bus company draws one. Settle is where the bus lives; each line is an area with its towns in pick-up order.

The K9 Bus areas, drawn as bus routes from Settle Settle is the home base. Each line is one area, with its towns in pickup order. The same information is listed below the diagram.

Yellow line: running now. Dashed: coming soon. Green square: the field. Settle is where the bus lives.
