Quite a lot of changes in Leeds then, even if the majority are just adjusting times. Although, there are a few route changes listed, on the X11/X14, 5, 9, 18/18A, one or more from 40/49/50/50A, 74/74A, 85/87/87A, 86 and 90/90A.
Also intrigued whether the cancellations are just tiding up registrations or genuine cancellations, although somehow, I don't think the 72/72A/73 would be the 72. However, the 14, 76, 82 and 88 could be genuine withdrawls.

If the 88 is a genuine withdrawal i think it'd be a good route for Geldards to pick up on. Get a couple 1/2 decent single deckers, and run it hourly or 2 hourly as it gets a few passengers in the mornings in east leeds.

The changes on Leeds routes 40/50/50A mean that these services will no longer interwork and will operate independant of each other although I've not seen the full details.
Service 40 is due to be operated by branded Gemini's, probably some taken from 32431-452 but not confirmed yet.

That seems a wise idea on the 40/50/50A interworkings so if Bramley gets cought short of low floor deckers, the 40 can still maintain a full allocation.
I believe during the summer of 2007, they had an accute shortage, the 40 was cut back with journeys missing between Cross Gates and Leeds. I don't know whether VOSA penalised them for it.
Could the 72 be made every 10 minutes to compensate for a loss of the 88 along Leeds Road in Bradford and the 73 possibly going. I'm sure it could be made much simpler as Richardshaw Lane is well catered for now with the 16/16A going up there.

Why do First keep fiddling with routes 960, 961 and 962?
It seems like every timetable change window, that these services have an amended timetable.

Im glad the 40 wont be interworking with the 50s. I thought that it was abit strange to have such a long cross city journey interworking with what is a quite short working Leeds- Seacroft. Some new B9s would be nice on the 40, Possibly the 40 to be move to Cherry Row? I think it should be as it is a Guided Route.

I can understand the 76 being cancelled. I catch this Bus 3 mornings a week sometimes, but I dont get on until West Grange Drive and I'm always the first and only passenger until the Bus reaches Dewsbury Road. Maybe Arriva will run the 117 via John Charles Centre meaning 2 Buses an hour including the 481.

So if the 40's are not going to be interworked with the 50/50A's at Seacroft anymore. Then I guess this rotor may change hands from Bramley Garage to Cherryrow.
It would make sense to do that instead of sending empty buses out to Seacroft from Bramley where as all duties could start and finish in Leeds.
What are your thoughts??

Don't forget bus companies are legible for subsidies from the EU for dead milage so having the bus in service could cost more with all boards starting and finishing at City Square.

Have i got this right - Bus companies will get paid for dead mileage so they wont get as much money for moving the route to the say cherry row instead of Bramley?

There is already a 606 service operated by first from Bradford to Holme Wood VIA Tyersal on Sunday mornings one return journey only. The TLC 606 is probably an extension of the blue line 607 and follows the former route of the 680 when it ran through Bradford to Holme Wood Bierley and Euroway up to the early 90s. I used this service when doing work experience at B&Q

There is a seperate registration for the 72, which was probably introduced when Bradford took over.
The 72/72A/73 registration is probably just the First Leeds part

Here's one to throw into the works, if it's only the 72A/73 part that's "cancelled", could the newly separated 40 possibly be sent back along its old route to Pudsey..?

Wouldn't be suprised if the 73 is withdrawn, given that the 508 runs to almost identical times between Stanningley and Leeds. Possible that the 40 may be extended to replace the 73 or maybe even extending some journeys on the 49 from Bramley to Pudsey.
Another possibility is that both the 40 and 49 are extended to Pudsey to replace the 73 and 88, with one of them continuing to Bradford, as the hourly 711 service is only other service between Pudsey and Bradford.

Well to be fair, every time I have seen an 88 between Bradford and Thornbury, you never see anyone on it. The fact that it has never used Bradford Interchange and terminated at Hall Ings won't have helped.
The most likely solution of the Chapeltown area of Pudsey still getting a bus to Leeds maybe with the 44/44A. However, that is only having the timetable amended and not the route.
If the 40 was to run out to Pudsey, it would make a very long cross city route time taken wise. But Pudsey would get a third overground route serving the town.

Do you mean Fulneck? The 4 is the main bus from Chapeltown to Leeds.

The 72/72A/73 registration is probably just the First Leeds part There is a separate registration for the 72 on VOSA's website. PB0000815/478 dated 27th July 2008. So, it does look like the 72A and/or 73 is being withdrawn. Well to be fair, every time I have seen an 88 between Bradford and Thornbury, you never see anyone on it. The fact that it has never used Bradford Interchange and terminated at Hall Ings won't have helped. I've caught the 88 once between Bradford and Thornbury and I think there were only 3 people and myself on it at Bradford and one person got on on Leeds Road. I have wondered why the 88 starts/terminates at Hall Ings instead of the Interchange. Is it because it's a First Leeds service and they haven't paid to use Bradford Interchange or is it because it's quicker to start/terminate at Hall Ings instead of the Interchange?

When the service was operated by Black Prince, it used to terminate at Hall Ings. Also the diversion of the service in East Leeds after the take over. I don't think the stretch to Halton Moor would of been as popular as the route Black Prince had it to Colton which provided a useful link with St James Hospital.

Do you mean Fulneck? The 4 is the main bus from Chapeltown to Leeds. The 4 terminates at Pudsey Waterloo, the 73 does run via Fulneck but terminates at Chapeltown as where the 91 does. Looking at the VOSA registrations, the 91/91A is having its route and timetable amended. Could this possibly include running around Fulneck to cover the withdrawn section of the 73. The X11 and X14 is also having the times amended. This also runs around Fulneck so could daytime journeys be reinstated so there is still a direct link to Leeds?
