I imagine it will replace the 101/102 and 92 into one combined service

So it looks like they're changing services in Burnley with renumbering of routes etc.

The new route will link up the 92 Tod-Burnley with the 101/2 Burnley - Stoops Estate. The service will be numbered be 1 and will probably be run by the dedicated Optare Versas under the 'Starship' name bringing a new make to the streets of Tod!

[Matty]

I imagine it will be because of Northern Blue now been Burnley & Pendle and they want the numbers to be B&P Numbers instead of having random numbers that Northern Blue Invented.

[westyorkshirebus]

It looks like all Burnley's Starship services are going back to single digits as they did in Harrogate

Metro timetable number 49A has never seen so many changes

Currently it contains services 49 - 92 - 517 - 589
By Christmas it will be services 1 - 273 - 517 - 589

[Jack]

Will the 1 only extend into Todmorden on Weekdays still every 30 mins or will they run on Saturdays again?

[77syk7]

An interesting point about the 49A timetable - however, the other two routes 517 and 589 make up for the others, as being amongst the most unchanged in the whole county!

[Jack]

Transdev have released details of the changes on their site. To answer my own question, the 1 will only extend to Todmorden on weekdays.
