Business as usual in Yorkshire

Yorkshire Tourist Board has been informed of a perception amongst coach and tour operators that there is a shortage of petrol in the North of England. We would like to reassure you all that this is NOT the case and any coach/tour operators would be strongly encouraged to continue with their planned travel arrangements and NOT cancel their visits. Business is as normal in Yorkshire and surrounding regions and fuel is readily available with no shortages.
