Has something happened to Route 1 Travel? I only ask as I saw this on VOSA today:
PB0004096/50 - TEAMDECK LTD T/A K-LINE, STATION YARD, STATION ROAD, HONLEY, HOLMFIRTH, HD9 6BF
Registration Accepted by SN
Starting Point: Huddersfield
Finish Point: Meltham
Via:
Service Number: 324A
Service Type: Normal Stopping
Effective Date: 17-FEB-2010
Other Details: Mondays to Saturdays.
324A being Route 1 Travel's service, with K-Line's being 324B. Have K-Line taken over Route 1's times and number or is it just re-registering their own service as a 324A instead of a 324B?

I heard a rumour the other week that First were meant to be buying Route 1 with the buses and the routes but obviously not.

I wouldn't listen to whoever told you that again, as it is just so far fetched and just wrong it's impossible where to start.

Yes, Route 1 have gone out of business and K-Line have taken over the route. I have heard that the ex Trustybus now Centrebus 514 Dart, which I saw at Waterloo yesterday is for them for this route..

What will the good citizens of Huddersfield do for a couple of months until a new company with similar origins appears?

I don't see why K-Line have took it on because it is nearly the same route as what First run and is totally unnecessary - I've never got why Route 1 ran it... apart from competition

They have always been going out of business because of Licence losses but now they have just not been making enough money so have just given up (Hopefully for the last time).

Whats the full company name of Route 1. Route 1 Travel Limited is a dormant company as of 3/2009.

You would have thought there would have been some kind of notice placed on the Metro website to indicate the changes. Wonder if K-Line will make any changes to the services in April, perhaps merging them together or re-time to create a more even 20 minute frequency.

From what I could see yesterday, K-Line are not running to the Route 1 timetable anyway. They were only running the 05 journey, which would provide approximately a half hourly service with their current journey

Kind of makes sense, given the other one (29) would run closer to K-Line's orginal 324B service.

They were only running the 05 journey, which would provide approximately a half hourly service with their current journey Yesterday, they were running the 324A every half hour, as per published timetable, and the 324B once an hour. It could be that they were short of vehicles earlier in the week. |
