It's still October but First West Yorkshire have decided to put up information about services during the Christmas period. Pretty standard information at the moment with more details to come later in the year.

Christmas Eve/New Year's Eve: Saturday service (except MC4 which runs weekday service and 517 which doesn't run) with buses finishing early
Christmas Day: No service
Boxing Day: Special service in Leeds and Huddersfield
Sun 27 and Mon 28 December: Sunday service
Tue 29 and Wed 30 December: Saturday service except 226, 747 and MC4 which run weekday services and 517 which won't run
New Years Day: No service except 757
Sat 2 January 2010: Normal service resumes

Looks like Huddersfield Bus Company will be running services on one of the 80-84 services on Boxing Day this year, while the 508 has been recommended to run half-hourly between Halifax and Leeds on Boxing Day.

These services mean that some routes have higher frequencies on Boxing Day than they do on every Sunday throughout the year.

In fact this Christmas there will be a better frequency on the 508 on the 26th than there will be on the 27th or 28th.

Huddersfield Bus Company will run the 81 & 82 to the normal Sunday times between the 08:11 82 departure from Denby Dale & the 18:00 82 departure from Huddersfield Bus Station. Journeys that would run on a Sunday before & after this in the timetable will not run on Boxing Day

Details of last buses on Christmas Eve and New Years Eve for First services in West Yorkshire have been posted on the First websites.

Keighley & District's publicity leaflet says "Normal Monday - Friday service" on Saturday 3rd of Jan, but is probably a typing error - there is usually one in each edition!

One other change to the Christmas Eve/New Years Eve service is that First Manchester's 184 journey from Huddersfield at 5.30pm will only run to Oldham bus station and not Manchester Piccadilly.
