First West Yorkshire Reversing Termini

[Father Dougal McGuire]

With the recent thread of over 10 years old being brought up regarding rural bus termini in Calderdale, it got me thinking of any where that a bus service has to reverse to turn back around (that are still in use and practiced).


The Only routes I have personally driven and know that do this are:

560 at Rishworth Common
592 at Portsmouth

Not currently that aware of others around as I drove buses in Leeds for two years before coming back to Calderdale. Trying to get to grips with the network again.

Outside Calderdale, in Huddersfield, Hepworth on the 310 is one. The reverse used to be mid journey when it was the 313 that went that way.

Doesn't Tiger's Northowram 534?, reverse at Terminus?

TLC services
596 Blackshaw Head, reverses into Davey Lane, to turn round.
598 Eaves, reverses twice on its route, first at Neale Street, then at Eaves Avenue.
599 reverses into a Turning Area at Old Town
901's that operate only to Cragg Vale, reverse into turning area.
T2 reverses at Longfield
T4 reverses at Kilnhurst

I think the 574 still reverses into the turning areas at both Booth and Midgley.

Victoria Road Saltaire when there was a bus service down the road the bus would would use the driveway of the URC church to reverse.

Don't forget 185 up at Marsden Dirker

There were many used by BCT and WYRCC in the Bradford area, but most acquired turning circles or re-routed after introduction of OMO one person operating.

As mentioned above, the 310 reverses at the terminus at Hepworth.

Others I can think of are obvious ones like Leeds, Huddersfield, Bradford Interchange bus stations, although these are reverse to leave,

Baildon Lucy Hall Drive,

Esholt (in the past, buses reversing back towards the Woolpack, but route since extended to the cricket club to turn round there),

Hirst Wood (back in Rider/Bradford Traveller days), the 814 and whatever came after it, would run right to the end of Hirst Wood Rd and reverse to turn by the foot crossing over the railway line, nowadays the terminus is lime tree Sq, but looking on Google maps, looks like a reversal is needed there too,

Southowram, although it is not strictly a reverse, more that the bus frequently can't make the u-turn in one go,

Oakworth Moor Drive on the K16 route,

Scar Top on the K14 & K16,

Laycock (K1)

80 in Leeds, previously the 67, reverse into the high-rise estate car park to reverse at the end of Poplar Way

Remember buses turning there when I was young child in the late 70s


68 (616) Eldwick, Beck Bottom used to turn at DickHudson"s

Big Leyland nationals and mini buses reversed at Lucy hall/Shipley glen. Was a tight turning area. Tiger buses currently use a solo down there
