First have removed mention of uplifts to the 48 and 62 from their website, and there's no new 48 timetable shown as forthcoming.

[e]Apparently those terminate at Laidsterdyke due to anti social behaviour. Well, I don't know where you are getting that information from?? If you look at bustimes.org, I don't know if all of them do this but there are plenty of drivers who just turn around somewhere in Laidsterdyke and refuse to go into Tyersal.

That was hardly First's fault they were given a date when the bus station would be ready for them to use.

East Yorkshire working of the Ripon-York service has had a fair amount of crticism this week in terms of the service to Boroughbridge High School. Initally there were claims that Transdev issued tickets were not being accepted, something East Yorkshire have denied. That now has been replaced by complaints on late running. Arrivals at the school before todays almost on time working have have been 10, 43, 12, and 23 late. The 43 late on Tuesday was due to the working from York to Ripon starting out 11 late and arriving at Ripon 40 late, after which they flipped it to working off a 182 from Knaresborough - the 23 late yesterday was largely due to the driver missed the turning to Scotton off the B6165 on the 182 0715 Knaresborough-Ripon going to Ripley and back thestrayferret.co.uk/bus-operator-defends-itself-after-parents-frustrations-over-new-boroughbridge-service/

East Yorkshire working of the Ripon-York service has had a fair amoiunt of crticism this week in terms of the service to Boroughbridge High School. Initally they were claims that Transdev issued tickets were not being accepted, something East Yorkshire have denined. That now has been replaced by cpomplaints on late running. Arrivals at the school before todays almost on time working have have been 10, 43, 12, and 23 late. The 43 late on Tuesday was due to woerking from York to Ripon starting out 11 late and arriving at Ripon 40 late, after which they flipped it to working off a 182 from Knaresborough - the 23 late yesterday was largely due to the driver missed the turning to Scotton off the B6165 on the 182 0715 Knaresborough-Ripon going to Ripley and back thestrayferret.co.uk/bus-operator-defends-itself-after-parents-frustrations-over-new-boroughbridge-service/There have been numerous instances of drivers going the wrong way across a number of North Riding routes over the last week, in some cases missing out stops as a result, more commonly having to backtrack and so wasting time, and in at least one case by the looks of it spending several minutes trying to get the bus round an impossibly tight turn. I do have some sympathy for the drivers because these are routes that have an unhelpful number of different variations as well as following convoluted routes along minor lanes, but a lot of the cases where they have gone wrong are not at the points where a variant route branches off! They do also seem to have been unlucky, there are lots of cases of traffic inching along in Knaresborough and Ripon so I don't know if there have been roadworks or other external factors that have hit them there. And also just a lot of slow running, where for no obvious reason they're losing a minute or two at every village – which may be down to drivers' lack of familiarity with the route and just going a bit more cautiously than normal, or maybe slower boarding if passengers are asking questions. There's no obvious reason why the service should have fallen off a cliff. They are running pretty much exactly the same route and timetable that Transdev were running previously without any problems. The buses themselves are no less suited to the route, there's no reason why modern E200MMCs should have any trouble keeping to the same timings as middle-aged Versas. It isn't as though they have not sent out the full complement of buses from the depot every morning ... so fingers crossed that it is just teething troubles and everything will have settled down and be back to normal soon.

The 21 transport operated 8 is noticeably absent from NYCs online timetables while their service change list incorrectly advises to look at Transdevs web site. Metro meanwhile do have a timetable but list the service both online and in the leaflet pdf as beiog worked by Stagecoach Manchester ! www.wymetro.com/buses/timetables/8/31608

Some roadworks / Road closures in Ripon too, primarily affecting the school time 83's especially the morning run where buses have been unable to enter Ripon via North Bridge. I would hope its just a lot of bedding in issues, although it doesn't help having drivers who are likely so unfamiliar with areas, diverting said 83's I've mentioned above seems to have been an issue. I would hate having to learn the 82/83/182 with just how long it is and all the variations it comes with, I remember the first day when Transdev relaunched the services into the 'Little Explorers' 22/23 from their previous incarnations, the driver I had really struggled with what is now the 182 portion of the route. 182 route is very tight in places from my experience riding it on Monday.

Yet when United, Harrogate, Connexions and Eddie Brown operated the 182 aka 56 they used full size vehicles on it. There are no variations today to the 182 route bar a school run and the 82/83 are pretty fixed bar some early outbound and late returns skipping out some villages plus school variants and the Hessay visits. None of the former nearly every bus taking a slightly different route. Not sure why with North Bridge closed they were running down the bypass to the B6265 when they could have turned off at the first roundabout as per the 136. Seems like the drivers have not been given full guidance instructions - watched a Youtube video by a Transdev Burnley based Rosso driver who was asked to work the 152 - he was not keen as he did not know the way into Burnley but was given a gudiance card and managed the one way system without a problem.

One thing about the extended and enhanced 11 though, will it prove popular or a waste as the current timetable is just two daytime only journeys to Tosside and three to Horton. The Horton late journeys on the previous 11 timetable were last cut because nobody used it and the last Slaidburn to Settle service got chopped at Tosside partly because Lancs council wern't willing to subsidise it south of Tosside, as well as North Yorks axing a number of journeys due to lack of use. The new timetable though does look to be replacing something on the Slaidburn to Clitheroe side however so maybe that'll be why Lancs Council are also subsidising it. I travelled on the 1257 from Settle to Clitheroe on Thursday. It was a plain white, 16-seater minibus (looked like an old Plaxton Beaver type) with no destination board but with a paper notice near the door. The card machine hadn't been set up yet as apparently it'd been delivered three weeks late, so no cash taken. Only me on board until just after Tosside (I think) but by Clitheroe there were three others. The two buses on the service crossed at Bowland Fell Caravan Park where our driver told the other he'd had a bus full going into Settle earlier on. I intended to travel on the 11 before it was withdrawn but never got round to it. What a wonderful scenic journey it is, through very green rolling countryside and with dark, forbidding moors in the background. I was surprised to see the timetable displayed at both the bus stops in Settle Market Place and Clitheroe Interchange, so good to see somebody somewhere is making an effort to promote it. Hopefully what seem to be teething troubles can be sorted out! Alluding to another post, I was surprised to see a Selby address on the side of the bus, do both buses and driver travel all that way each morning?

626 Baildon (Towngate) – Shipley Market – Bradford (Bridge Street top) via Manningham
Not been noted previously?
Still one-bus operation late evening after 20:08 , but now running its full route all evening on a 70-minute service!

From 11 April Flixbus has introduced a new route 074 via Leeds, but it has limited opportunities for travel:
It runs: 09:10 Manchester –> York via Bradford 13:30 York –> Liverpool * 18:30 Liverpool –> Manchester
* doesn't call Bradford on the return
