If bustimes is right 1801 is the only vehicle used yesterday being used today - the others are Plaxton Panther YX19MMF which is listing as being Keighleys 303, Metrocity demonstrator 301 from Blackburn and Boo Bee Bus Enviro 400 YX19 ONU listed as 302 (it had been used by Blackburn in 2019 for trials on the X43) And bustimes were wrong with the three 301-303 vehicles actually being vehicles supplied by Reliant Could be that Transdev supplied the ticket machines.

Not officially announced yet, but I understand from Next Monday First Leeds will be operating a reduced Saturday timetable on Weekdays. First - the following services in Leeds will be changing from Sunday 26 September due to driver shortages 2, 3, 3A, 4, 4F, 5, 5A, 6, 8, 12, 13, 13A, 33, 34, 42, 49, 50, 50A, 56, X56, 72. First - the following services in Bradford will be changing from Sunday 26 September due to driver shortages 607, 617, 618, 620, 621, 622, 626, 636, 637, 645. Generally, early morning trips to Bradford will still run, but a 15-minute frequency (combined) will be in force during daytime hours. TLC - change to service 901 from starting Sunday 26 September. The Hebden Bridge to Huddersfield 901 journeys are unchanged.

The Hebden Bridge to Huddersfield 901 journeys are unchanged. These cuts take many routes back to late-90s frequencies (some like the 5 it’s worse - the comparable 37 route then was every 10 minutes even back then). And I think 617/618 at every 15 minutes must be the lowest frequency for that route ever (except during the worst of lockdown perhaps).

Connexions Buses – changes to services 923, 940, 963 and X52 from Tuesday 7 September due to driver shortages They are also withdrawing the X6A in Harrogate but only withdrawing three working each way on the X1A/B whereas cancelling those competing services would have allowed a number of the other cancelled services to run. The Better Bus Company ?

Service 1 needs adding to that list as that's also seeing a reduction, with short journeys numbered 1B and extended from town to Beckett Park

Because the Mon to Fri frequency between Beeston and Leeds is reduced from every 7 to every 10 mins, although one quirk I have noticed is that the 10 minute frequency does extend until mid evening, with a later bus from town to Beeston at 11.44pm Mon to Sat.

South Pennine start covering the 514 for Team Pennine and 58 & M92 for Stagecoach Sheffield from Monday: Sounds like the 58 and M92 is a permanent transfer with SouthPennineCT only accepting Stagecoach tickets for an interim period of 2 months (or 1 month if you read the stagecoach website).

I totally understand why the changes as it reduces number of buses required per hour but for a customer who at the mo has a service on a 20 min frequency same times each hour is relatively easy. Where as now i will have a service with a bus every 24 mins so no set times each hour will feel very strange.

(Not blaming you for this, because I know you're just repeating what First said)

Previously 4f from pudsey at 7.50 came off depot but ran most days. Now it comes off the 6.40 from seacroft. However both days this week its then run the 4 circuit to highfield green rather than the 4f circuit round Fartown. Meaning the last 4f due into leeds b4 9am has not served Fartown either day this week. Hope they sort this out

26 September temporary change to First Bradford service 645
Not noted in the publicity, but evening timetable alterations saw Monday–Friday and Saturday evening times change.
There are now different times on M–F, Sat and Sunday evenings.

That has been the case on Service 521 in Halifax for some time. That route is every 30 mins on Sunday evenings but 40 during the week with no bus between 1915 and 2000 Mon to Sat. Am I alone in finding that a little odd?

There's a lot like that unfortunately. Monday to Saturday the last bus back from Rochdale terminates at Todmorden yet on Sunday it runs through to Hebden Bridge. It was only cut back to Todmorden in the first lockdown and still hasn't gone back. Also on an Evening the 590 has more time between Tod - Roch than in the day. On Sunday the 590 is timed different to the 592 between Hebden and Tod. And both services leave at random minutes past each hour from Todmorden as opposed to the simple xx10 and xx40 it was all day every. In my opinion all the timetables need to be tidied up and made to be clear and simple which are preffered by passengers and drivers a like because now when someone asks what time.... bus is we have to say "sorry mate, dunno"

And annoyingly, it means that we clash on stand 5. I’m on the rota for 620/1 route, and did a 621 late turn the other night, and got annoyed with it been on my stand, checked the running boards and noticed it leaves roughly the same time as me. Also noticed that 645 686/8 are timetabled to occupy the same stand (Y) on an evening too.

Is Bradford doing the 55C or just the 55? 55 & 65 only. Bramley keep the evening and Sunday 55C. Resurrecting this old thread to ask something that just popped into my head (and as I'm rarely in Leeds these days it's hard to check): does First Bradford still operate the 55 and 65, or was that stopped at some point?
