There's a similar thread elsewhere on the forum, this may answer some of the questions.

ok thankyou

[Bradford Traveller]

Can't find the thread.
Note on the above.
669 ran Keighley-Colne (not through from Bradford, even though part of the 66x number family).
25A was a variant of the 25 indicating via Airedale Hospital.
