This was the phone number I was given by metro 07872 922364 When rung it he said he was the boss. I explained about the non appearance of the bus service last Friday. He said I should use a taxi if I had a problem and I shouldn’t ring him again and the phone went dead ! I contacted metro on Monday they said it was logged but they couldn’t do anything. Very frustrating Once again YEEEHHAAAWWWW COWBOYS.

As Metro is part of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority their will be a 'local' councillor who it might be worth contacting if who is it can be worked out.

The 30 runs through three wards - Horsforth, Calverley & Farsley, and Pudsey. The Councillors contact details are on the Leeds City Council website. Have A&A had their Traffic Commissioners' hearing yet?

no the 30 from ct plus should as begin one of the route that globe of barnsley should have had but it was too far for them to travel and that why it went to a and a travel because they come from york which means that the can use the a64 ring road from horsfoth

I seem to remember an Admin did issue a suggestion recently that we should accept what people write in the way that they write it. Facts can be questioned but not the way of saying them. Being 75, I struggle with that posting, but then maybe that contributor struggles with what I type?(Edited!!!)

If they don't want people to understand what they're trying to say, they can carry on as they are with no respect to those reading them. If they do, they could make their posts understandable without trying to guess where a new sentence starts and what they're trying to say.

No need to be rude about it. You don't know who is behind the keyboard. They may suffer with dyslexia, we dont know I rarely comment on errors in people's posts. But when they're posting all over the board and I can't understand half of what they're saying I'll ask what they mean and point out that if they can't be understandable then people won't understand them. Otherwise I could simply guess what they mean and probably be wrong. I wasn't aware I'd been rude - no rudeness was meant.

Vale to Horsforth station today no bus seen. According to metro it’s a Saturday timetable. www.wymetro.com/buses/timetables/30/pdfRang the operator again to ask if any bus would be coming… “ your banned from all our buses goodbye “ phone dead. Taxi it was 🤣

It’s turned from disappointment to disgust to frustration !
Now I’ve just given up and laugh about it !
Taxi driver said he has 2 or 3 old people from the vale estate who use him regular to go to Morrisons horsforth because the 30 bus is totally unreliable.
I emailed the local MP for the area but because I don’t have an address within their constituency they don’t wish to get involved ! I need to contact the company directly !! 😂
Oh and I asked Hornby on Twitter if the 36 is going to be reliable when it increases frequency in a few weeks and guess what ! I was blocked🙈 for that !

Well, I went for the 12:56 Troy - Pudsey service today (I must admit that I waited at the stop after the terminal loop, just in case it missed that bit out by turning at the Old Ball roundabout [see Eyes Passim, as Lord Gnome would say]) . . . and it turned up, on time. The bus (sorry didn't get its registration) - a grey-orange/red single-deck ex-First Wright Eclipse(?) - was tidy and well-presented; I presume it was new because the pleasant driver apologised for the lack of destination display (which he promised to get sorted for tomorrow [there was a paper display in the windscreen, which I noticed was turned at either end of the route to show the service number and correct destination]) and ticket machine (so a free ride).
There were no takers on the Troy - Horsforth Vale section of the route, but there were passengers - who seemed to be on good terms with the driver - waiting at stops between Calverley and Pudsey. This leads me to suspect that the all-day Troy - Horsforth Vale shorts, which require one vehicle, don't run, but the off-peak Troy - Horsforth Vale - Pudsey runs which utilise a second vehicle between school runs do operate.
We'll see if this experience is repeated on my next outing on the 25th of this month . . .

Hiya
I was in Horsforth this morning working. The following trips never ran 1026 Horsforth - Vale & rtn 1056 Horsforth - Pudsey ( the return work DiD run ) 1126 Horsforth - Vale & rtn
There was a white Gemini knocking about prior to 10.30 but that disappeared. Then a tatty red President appeared for about a hour around 1130
I rang metro ( again ) and the person on the phone said they don’t know anything about a 30 bus and advised I rang First South Yorkshire in Sheffield ! I mean for god sake ! It’s almost worthy of a book !
