I Was thinking the same thing! how many times have stagecoach changed this batch of services since gaining them from Yorkshire Traction? they seem to have a major re-vamp at least once a year.

[siy2009]

Been about 3 years since the last revamp and this one is being done properly. To be honest the west Yorkshire side isn't changing that much its more the south Yorkshire end that's seeing the big changes with a increase of both the grimethorpe and cudworth corridors.
Also includes a night bus from Barnsley to grimethorpe. Better vehicles are hopefully being sourced too for soon after the changes happen.

Sgi yorkshire buses new services confirmed for August are:

126 Ossett to Wakefield

School service 183 Dewsbury/Thornhill to Batley Girls (following the route of Arriva's 281)

283 Dewsbury to Birstall Market (following Arriva's 283 (Birstall Starting/terminating point to be confimed)).

They having a dilemma of where to terminate and start in Birstall. They thinking of coming into Birstall via 229 from Birstall lights to the 229 bus stop in Birstall (being the next stop along from Arriva's 283), this being due to a tight swinging if did a loop round the market place. I thought do this and reverse up to the stop. Then again would have a back log of buses hehe.

[westyorkshirebus]

Why is no more 229A a yay?, did they used to force people to use it, it was only a positioning run for a school service.

[whereami]

Very professional for SGi, isn't it??, suggesting that they'll reversing the wrong way in a one way street, to get to a bus stop, just to get in front of an Arriva vehicle

It is far enough room cos the 209 stops there and the morning runs on the 229 start there too. So no issues parking there. Only concern is if a 229 or 209 does come behind the 283 would it get stuck behind as some cars struggle now when a 229 is dropping off and picking up. If 283 does start there it will loose out on passengers as I have seem loads get on at the 281-3 stop and even I catch it when in Birstall. That was the idea of going to Birstall in the first place!! I still think should stop at the 220/2/9 (leeds) stop. Let's see what happens when this service starts.

Or they could continue along bradford road from the cross roads & up low lane & do a 1 way loop round birstall,theres sometimes a few passengers waiting for 283 at Low lane anyway so might be a way to try and nick a few extra passengers?

Major improvements to Yorkshire Tiger uni services now published on their website

Service 92 now runs Kirkstall Brewery, Leeds Met uni, Sugarwell Court, Leeds, Clarence Dock, every 30 minutes. Improved frequency on the Kirkstall section.

Service 93 now runs Leeds Met uni to Opal Halls via Headingley Lane and Leeds every 15 minutes, a doubled frequency.

Service 93 now also runs every 20 mins during uni holidays and all year on Saturdays, plus every 30 mins on Sundays.

PVR increased from 5 (& 1 on 94) to 8. There are reduced frequencies at school times, so obviously interworking with their current and new school contracts.

Hopefully the whole service may be double decks, as that would look impressive on the Headingley corridor.
