Am i missing something or is it a misprint in the leaflet that says the 167 and 168 are operated by Tiger? I saw that, it should say Arriva not tiger

With Yorkshire Tiger introducing all those 20s, it’s be nice if Metro would put them all on the same timetable rather than scattered around, but I expect they won’t, and I expect nobody at Tiger will have the inclination to recommend that they do so either.
Same with the 85 in Huddersfield not being in the same place as the 81-84

A further oversight in the Metro leaflet is the Squarepeg 9 Seacroft-White Rose service described only as “timetable revised” - in fact the entire Saturday service is withdrawn.
Also the remaining First 9 service on Saturday daytime reduces to about every 70 mins to accommodate longer running times.

please note the 622 change in the Metro changes leaflet is a load of rubbish.
622 runs Monday to Saturday (except Monday to Friday 0900-1500) Bradford - Shipley - Bingley Railway Station only.
623 runs Monday to Friday 0900-1500 Bradford - Bingley Railway Station, then via Crownest, Kingsway, Mornington Road, Park Road and Shipley Market Place to Bradford.

Guessing that the evening/Sunday Golcars will be run by Waterloo rather than Honley.

It suprises me because I lived in Normanton a while back and would have loved a service like this. Does anyone know if it will go into Normanton? Or is it going to avoid it and only use the bypass? They really should have done it sooner I think.

Although other opportunities have now been opened ! Penfold

I'd say more speculation. After all First have neglected pool for far too long and i'm sure they have the data now to prove how popular the X85 is proving with the residents FINALLY having a direct link and none of this change at top of pool bank/otley bus station bull sh1t. The last X85 now runs an hour earlier and the previous last journey now runs as an X84. As a daily X84 commuter, I'd say that the new timetable isn't particularly good news. Nothing from Otley to Leeds between the X85 at 7.35 and the X84 at 7.58 (so I need to leave home at 7.25 to be in work comfortably for 9), which is a problem carried over from when the X85 was reintroduced. The evening peak timetable has departures from Leeds at 1700, 1725 (X85), 1750 and 1815 and the services are slowed down so the 1700 doesn't leave Bramhope until 1753 (my arrival times in Otley over the last few days have been 1753, 1759 and 1758). It'd be interesting to know what First are basing their timings on, as by my reckoning since the X85 was reintroduced there were three or four weeks of extra heavy traffic on Otley Road due to the closure of Weetwood Lane and then more or less straight into Christmas holidays. There can only have been about six weeks of "normal" traffic.

I don't know what they are up to but yet again it's more proof of why i don't really like First and there lack of investment in routes etc. They are not exactly doing any favours to the travelling public. I really think the Otley/Pool Wharfdale area could have another 36 type route. But it needs Transdev to do that.

Not mentioned in the thread by Faz2105, regarding the time change to Tiger 301's is, they will also be doing Evenings and Sunday service I'm assuming that this is addition to First's existing 301/302 evening/Sunday service, as both Upcoming timetables on the Metro website has evening/Sunday journeys with Tiger's 301 Monday-Saturday evening (no Sunday evening service) departures at timed to run 10 minutes before First's. Tiger's Sunday service is hourly, running in between First's 301/302 half-hourly service. Looking at other Upcoming timetables on the Metro website, it looks like the 20A in Halifax is a combination of the current 20 and 513/514 services, with 20/20A forming a 20 minute frequency between Halifax and Rye Lane with an hourly extension to Wainstalls, some of those journeys continuing as service 24 back to Halifa via Mixenden.

Why didn’t YT time it half an hour between the existing Golcar late? Ten minutes in front at that time a night is a p*** take.

Stops AFAIK are WBS., Kirkgate, Park Street, Agbrigg Corner, Warmfield Meter (Crossley Street), Snydale, Normanton Police Station, New housing estate just before Glasshougten, Asda and then all stops in J32. Usual conditions apply and subject to change

Presumably the 20A will therefore have to do a double run the full length of Rye Lane on its way to/from Wainstalls.
