704 and 705 were both Keighley to Thwaites Brow.
704 from West Yorkshire days into Keighley & District times ran via Parkwood Flats on the way up to Thwaites Brow but straight down Park Lane on the way back into town.
705 was introduced around the early 90's I believe when Minibuses took over the route, with the 704 running via Park Lane both ways and the 705 via Parkwood Flats both ways, and IIRC, a frequency of every half hour on each route, giving a combined 15 minute frequency.
More recently, when the frequency was reduced to every 20 minutes, the 704 was dropped and all journeys ran as 705 which has since been renumbered K5.
IIRC, the 718 was another Bracken Bank Circular, with both it and the 719 (now K9) running out of Keighley via North St and back via Worth Way, but then running a circular route of Bracken Bank with 718 going one way and 719 the other.
More recently the 718 number was reintroduced for the Asda service, which had originally been served by the 719 on a loop back into town, but then reverted to going straight to the bus station and the bus station to Asda route operated independently from it as 718.

As an aside, the main reason for this seems to be that the frequency of the Keighley - ASDA section dropped to every 20 minutes, with the 719 remaining at every 15. |
