Using Bustimes.org date it paints a mixed bag so far today:
05:03 Oldham to Huddersfield - Missed Hard End,same with 6:35 return
06:03 Oldham to Huddersfield - Missed Hard End,same with 7:35 return
07:03 Oldham to Huddersfied - Missed Hard End,same with 8:35 return
08:03 Oldham to Huddersfield - Missed Hard End,same with 9:35 return
09:03 Oldham to Huddersfield - Ran correct route, same with 10:35 return
10:03 Oldham to Huddersfield - Ran correct route,same with 11:35 return
11:03 Oldham to Huddersfield - Missed/Didn't track, same with 12:35 return
12:03 Oldham to Huddersfield - Missed Hard End,ran correct route on 13:35 return
13:03 Oldham to Huddersfield - only tracked as far as Lees, either didn't track to/from Huddersfield or broke down.
14:03 Oldham to Huddersfield - Missed Hard End towards Huddersfield - still in Linthwaite on the way to Huddersfield despite it should of already departed back towards Oldham.
Timekeeping seems to be an issue as well, with a fair amount of them running between 10 & 30 Mins late. 10 Minutes could be put down to passengers asking questions during the first week but the ones running 30+ mins late should be looked into alongside the wrong routings.

The last full route bus the 1803 from Oldham seems to be running over an hour late, and didn’t leave Oldham until after 7pm

It's amazing how services that were pretty much infrequent have mostly been upscaled to 1 bus an hour. Services 502, 900/1 and B3 have all been successful with buses being very busy. Maybe Halifax to Oldham could be given a go with the right motivation and advertising to attract people. The 502 used to be hourly from 0520 to 2320 from Keighley with an extra peak service in each direction in the am and pm peaks (though it only used to run until 1820 on a Sunday which nearly caught me out a couple of times) until immediately before its complete withdrawal. The 900/1 was far more useful to me when it was actually hourly and connected with the B3. The B3 has been successful, but starts very late on a Sunday (it did run an hour earlier which connected nicely with the first of the 3 Sunday 901s but that journey was withdrawn). I'd love the 562 back, but I know how poorly patronised that was between Rishworth and Denshaw. I'd prefer to get a reliable 2bph (or 3bph) between Halifax and Ripponden with 1 or 2 bph from Rishworth to Halifax. Doh! Sorry for replying to a post from page 1... |

Saw a Stagecoach L-plated bus (with no Bee Network patches) at Huddersfield's layover bays which suggests they might actually be committing to route learning on the 184.

Tried the my first Bee Network bus today, and also the X1 for the first time.
Ex-Go North West 13165 BN61 MWK was running 58 minutes late on the 184 at Slaithwaite, and it was followed by new MMC 11801, which ran the correct route, but was 21 minutes late. Unfortunately when I boarded I was hit with the stench of weed coming from a group of 6 lads on the top deck. Unfortunately you can try and improve buses all you want, but people will still be put off by the dregs of society who often use them.
I then boarded an X1 from Huddersfield, which just ran along the exact old 503 route, despite the other journeys running the new way.

Seen a couple up and down the road today. It is positive if that is what Bee Network (tfgm) are saying. Let's hope it's progress to a high standard reliable service we deserve. Nice new 24 plate bus spotted on 184 though at Linthwaite (I walked down to Marsden Peel Steet to catch reliable and punctual First Huddersfield 383 though, just in case for my journey to Huddersfield) |

The 184 commonly ran 20-30 minutes late
It's a bit worse but not far off perhaps in a few weeks time it will run a bit better!

Personally think it's just teething troubles, it will settle down eventually If I were dependent upon that service for work, leisure or whatever, then that attitude would have me climbing up walls! I live in a village with an hourly service (except Saturdays(1 service), Sundays and Bank Holidays. It's only a 25 minute walk to the main road along a country lane and there are two services an hour there. And me with my bad leg. Fortunately our local operator gives a pretty good service, maybe a bit late sometimes, but they mostly turn up. |

We're so sorry to say that DalesBus 59 will be suspended after operation on Saturday, 16th March, until the reopening of the A59, which is currently closed for emergency repairs. We've seen very few people on board during the diversion period, and the diversion route will now be subject to further delays due to roadworks returning at Manor Park. Have they given any idea of approximately how long this is for? |

Latest A major North Yorkshire road that has been closed due to a landslip will not reopen before the end of June, council bosses have said. |

And still it goes on! 1103 from Oldham and its return at 1235 from Huddersfield today (19th April) omitting Hard End. Once again I have contacted Bee Network. I have contacted them four times now but only received one reply. Metro are not interested either. How many passengers have been permanently lost because of this situation? |

How many passengers have been permanently lost because of this situation? Perhaps escalate to the Traffic Commissioner, explaining what you've already done and emphasising it's in West Yorkshire as GMCA are now effectively the Traffic Commissioner for Greater Manchester. |
