Hi,
Does anyone know if the 781 Leeds to Otley service used to run more regularly? It seems well loaded north of Alwoodley.

I can look up some old timetables when I'm home at the end of next week. It's been 1 bus a day for 20 years at least.

Don't think it's ever been a regular serviced route even going back to the Wyrcc days I think it was a 2 or 3 hour wait between buses.

That's really useful to know. Cheers. I had no idea the x35 extended there either.

When Black Prince operated the 781 it ran through to Ilkley.

I have a feeling I caught the last run of the Black Prince X35 from Leeds not long after I moved to Otley in 1997. Quite a pleasant journey once you got to Alwoodley but I'm fairly sure it was just me and the driver.
