Trivia: Buses financially supported by the railways

[mikeg]

Waiting for a bus in Northallerton, I noticed the Sunday 'Wensleydale Flyer' is financially supported by Transpennine Express.
Are there any other PSV services, with or without through ticketing, which are supported in this manner?

I'm talking the railways subsidising the service here ( or providing sponsorship to that effect), so a simple through ticket on a purely commercial service wouldn't count

I believe the 118 from Okehampton to Tavistock is now supported by GWR following the reopening of what they are calling the Dartmoor Line.

Also a Tally Ho! Service from Totnes shouts about its partnership with GWR, Dartmouth or Salcombe I believe

DalesBus is sponsored by Northern. No idea what the 'support' is.

There used to be a free bus, sponsored by the four TOCs that serve Chester, which linked the station with the city centre.

However when a bus operator registered a commercial service on the route sponsorship ceased and fares are now charged.

Not quite the correct version of events. Arriva complained that it was extracting revenue from their commercial services and so it got registered commercially with fares charged

Service 100 between Hanley and Stone is part-funded by West Midlands Trains.

The Princes Risborough to Chinnor route 320, currently operated by Redline, certainly has been (at least partially) funded by Chiltern Railways. I don’t know for certain if it still is however current publicity by both the bus and rail company includes the Chiltern logo, as well as still marketing it as a “rail link” service, so that might possibly suggest the railway still provides some support?

Isn't the Bicester Village bus funded by Chiltern too?

Didn't LNER sponsor one at some point? York-Whitby?
