Transdev Keighley Bus Co run a 72 Skipton - Grassington (Full size bus)
North Yorkshire County Council run a 72A Hebden -Skipton - Buckden via Grassington (Minibus)
Upper Wharfedale Venturer run a 72B Grassington - Buckden (Minibus)
Summer Sundays there are all sorts of operators running in Upper Wharfedale doing Dalesbus services. But the Transdev 72 still runs Skipton - Grassington on Sundays

Reliance of Easingwold replaced Dales and District as the operator of the 70 Northallerton-Ripon service back in September. Except for a single, final journey from Ripon each day which is run by Hodgson’s of Barnard Castle. It has no equivalent Northallerton-Ripon journey. Return tickets issued by Reliance are valid on the Hodgson’s run.

Up until Yorkshire Tiger became Transdev Team Pennine a couple of years ago, the 231/232 Huddersfield to Wakefield services had three different operators. Monday to Saturday daytimes were Tiger, with evenings being First Huddersfield. Arriva operated the Sunday service all day. Now it's 100% Arriva.
And it’s a technicality as they are both part of First West Yorkshire, but First Leeds also had trips on the 231/232 during this period as well.

The same can be said with regard to Yorkshire Tiger and Arriva- the key difference being that a FirstDay ticket would be valid regardless of whether a service was run by Leeds or Huddersfield. With Arriva Yorkshire and Tiger, single operator tickets from one were not valid on the other.

The 64 between Aberford and Leeds Bus Station is run jointly by Connexionsbuses and First Bus.
During the daytime and Saturdays it is run by Connexionsbuses, and during the early morning, evenings, and Sundays it is run by First. Because of this, the timetable is a bit odd at times as some services during the day/morning only operate on Schooldays or Saturdays. Each operators tickets can be bought and used on both services, with the exception of single tickets bought on the FirstBus app.
