Hello,
I understand that First will be exclusively serving the new Retail Park (Springs) from October?
Anyone any idea what this will look like? Will the 19 and 19A be diverted there?
Thanks

THIS IS ON THE THORPE PARK WEBSITE
"We’re excited to have partnered up with First Bus, who’ll be running new services through the business park from October; so, no more having to walk to Sainsbury’s to catch the bus, you’ll be able to hop on fast and frequent services to / from Leeds via Cross Gates from right outside your office!
From 15th October, there will be a brand new services operating between Thorpe Park and Leeds, via Selby Road – the X26 – which will offer a fast and direct service into Leeds City Centre, with a bus every 15 minutes (with limited stops on the route to speed things up as much as possible).
From 10 December, this will be supplemented by the X27 service, which will use the new rail crossing to link to Cross Gates and Leeds via Manston Lane. Both the X26 and X27 will then run at a frequency of 3 buses an hour, combining to provide a bus every 10 minute between Thorpe Park and Leeds!.
First are also looking at ways to provide even more services to Thorpe Park in the New Year!"

Some branding includes Leeds City and the brand name ‘Park Life’. Possibly using the redundant Streetdecks from the 72
