However, as none of the bids met the council's criteria, First York was granted a twelve-month extension, until January 2018, with the intention of commencing a fresh tender process.

[11] In July 2008, a fleet of 17 Wright Eclipse Urban bodied Volvo B7RLE single-deck vehicles were introduced, with 25 articulated Mercedes-Benz Citaro arriving the following year.

[13][14][15] Following an order in May 2019,[16][17] a fleet of 21 fully-electric Optare MetroDecker double-deck vehicles were introduced into service on the park and ride network in July 2020.

The reopening of the site was part of the City of York Council's Bus Service Improvement Plan, which was funded by a £17.36 million grant from the Department for Transport.

The network operates with a flat fare (£2.50 single, £3.50 return) between all park and ride sites and the city centre, as well as offering a range of season tickets, which are valid for use on all First York services.

Previously, the network has been run by vehicles manufactured by Duple (Dominant), Mercedes-Benz (Citaro G), Plaxton (Supreme) and Wrightbus (Axcess-Ultralow, Eclipse (Fusion, Metro and Urban)).
