www.wymetro.com/news/Ladies_Only_Travel/According to metro 'West Yorkshire Combined Authority understands that bus company Ladies Only Travel (trading as LOT) has gone into liquidation and will no longer be operating any bus services.' I think the following may go to these operators. 31/32 Connexions 49 & 197 M Travel 226 TJ Walsh 635 TLC 933 YT (Honley) First or TLC may take on Bradford City Bus. 781, as we know, seems to had a curse on it, firstly with Centrebus/Yorkshire Tiger/LOT.

First of your predictions to come trues is 933 going back to YT, they've just tweeted theyre gunna run it from Wednesday operating the current timetable.

Bradford City Bus is entirely commercial, TLC don't tend to do commercial work, so maybe First might have a go?

It'll end up like the 5 in Leeds.

I don't agree with the comment "a business everyone loved to hate here". They were a small company who provided a good service on a small number of tendered routes. They decided to tender for more routes which they won. It really can't be a good idea to run an odd journey here and there on certain routes at locations some distance from the depot. Also the mileage from their depot to Meltham to run 5/6 short trips must have been about the same as the route itself. I think the problems started when they started cancelling journeys on the commercial 711. Vehicle breakdown was the usual reason. You just can stop running a route for that reason, a company should have enough vehicles to cover these problems. Then there was the problem with the late evening services recently "returned" to Arriva. If a company has staff who only want to drive "social hours" suddenly working at 11pm is not what a driver wants. I am sorry to see them go as the vehicles always appeared to be clean and tidy externally. I never travelled inside one

Just spent a boring 20 minutes at Morrison's in Meltham no sign of any replacement 933 service. Route passes through every 15 minutes.

Foreshadowing perhaps?

Are some buses being transferred over to Idle to run the 781 and 31/32? Loved it when Tiger ran the 781, hopefully we'll get a tempo or decker.
Almost like Tiger are moving back into Leeds haha.

Latest update from Metro, all tendered services now covered.....
On Monday 3 October, West Yorkshire Combined Authority was informed that bus company Ladies Only Travel (trading as LOT) had gone into liquidation and would no longer be operating any bus services.
The Combined Authority’s Bus Services team has worked hard and has been able to make the folowing alternative arrangements for the following tendered services for which the Combined Authority provides financial support: 31/32 – Yorkshire Tiger from Weds 5 Oct 88 – Square Peg from Thurs 6 Oct 197 – Watersons from Weds 5 Oct 226 – TJ Walsh from Weds 5 Oct 635 – TLC from Weds 5 Oct 781 – Yorkshire Tiger from Thursday 6 Oct 933- Yorkshire Tiger from Weds 5 Oct
Bradford City Bus was a commercially run service so the Combined Authority will not be supporting a replacement. However, it will be sharing passenger data with bus companies operators to see if anyone wants to run it commercially.

In answer to Deerfolds question of 17 hours ago. I had been shopping and thought I would hang around to see if there had been a quick replacement for the 933 before anything had been published by WYMetro. If there had been I would have posted it on this forum for the benefit of members.

I'd expect some deckers on the 781, it's being run out of Elland and interworks with a school run. 852 is running it today
