I would reroute the 8 to go down Wetherby Road, Turn Right onto Monkswood Ave then down Ramshead Drive to North Parkway and up to Seacroft.

Would there be a case for the 95 being diverted to Headingley Campus, which currently has no services at evenings and weekends, when Bodington closes?

Would there be demand though for the service to go to the campus on an evening. There won't be any lectures on late at night or during the weekends. Also there is no accomodation at the Campus so really there is no point it going up there!
However, I do wonder how well an evening and weekend service would be for the 92 to give a more direct link with some of the new accomodation on Burley Road and in parts of Little London to Headingley. It could be strictly a Friday and Saturday nights only though.

Timetable for the 194 is now available. The change sees one 196 journey an hour replaced by a 194, which means there's still a half-hour frequency between Wakefield and Newstead and 3 buses per hour to/from Hemsworth on the 195/196.

The short workings on the 85 between Leeds and Middleton Arms have also been withdrawn.

The new X6 timetable is also now available
An extra bus is going to be introduced into the cycle at peak times to improve reliability
The longest journey time now increases to 1 hour 45 minutes (the 7.30 from Huddersfield, not getting to Leeds until 9.15)

Does anyone know if the right turn ban from Harehills Lane to Roundhay Road at the Fforde Grene has been lifted at all? Otherwise how on earth do they intend to follow the new 91A route?

You cannot turn Right when travelling down Harehills lane from Potternewton, you can however turn left @ the fforde green to get you onto the Fforde's side of the road and go straight on towards St. James' or turn right from there onto Harehills Lane up towards Potternewton, which is how i presume they're going to get the 91A up Harehills lane from the Fforde Green

Timetables for the 63 and X11 services now available.
Arriva's 63 will run from Birstall at 0642 (weekdays), 0802 (Sats) then 0932 and every hour until 1332 then 1432 and 1602 on Saturdays. From Leeds Bus Station, the service will run at 0850 then 1020 and every hour until 1320 then 1420 to Drighlington (Saturdays to Birstall), 1520 (Sats) to Birstall, 1625 (weekdays) to Drighlington and 1650 (Sats) & 1740 (weekdays) to Birstall.
First's 63 will run 10 minutes earlier from Ivy Street during the evenings, while the 63A will run all Sunday daytime journeys not just the summer months.
The X11 will run every hour with some extra journeys including 1455 from Bradford and 1557 from Leeds on weekdays to fill the gaps left by withdrawn 711 journeys at the end of last year. The service still starts/terminates at Eastgate in Leeds and run limited stop between Stanningley By-Pass and Leeds. The X14 will now run at 0713 and 0743 from Thornbury Barracks and 1700 and 1745 from Leeds.

There was an evening/sunday 49 extension for a short time as far as I remember, the 30 also did it at one point but not sure when.

As has been said you can turn left to turn right or vica versa It will be very long winded making this turn, with buses having to go through 3 sets of lights. They should at least make the left turn from Roundhay Road to Harehills Lane for buses from St James' 'No Left Turn Except Buses'

Probably best they don't do that, the bus would just catch all the traffic behind wishing to go straight on (it wouldn't be able to turn til the end of the green signal phase due to the lack of a right turn filter). Plus the positioning of the central reservations would make it a bit tight. Only real alternative would be along Harehills Lane to Ashley Road or Compton Road.

New timetable is up for the 40 & 40A and looking at the the timetables, the Monday-Saturday daytime timetable has the 40 & 40A running to similar times to the 72 and 508 between Bramley and Leeds. The 40 & 40A will run 1 minute behind the 72 and 508 into Leeds and at exactly the same times from Leeds.
Evening journeys has the 40 running 6 minutes before the 72 out off Leeds but a more even 13 minutes before the 72 into Leeds.

No change in the evenings to trips via Rodley, 16A continues as present and 44A doesn't. the X11 and 711 run a half-hourly daytime service BRADFORD-Pudsey from 0700-1830 covering present 14 and 88 trips. From next week, MC3 only runs on a morning 0920-1250 on a half-hourly basis, with a link to tesco, only one bus is used as the interchange leg is dropped.

I PREDICT A RIOT! When the usual suspects who use the 86 between Middleton Road, Dewsbury Road, Beeston Hill and Holbeck find our what's happening to the 86 they won't be pleased. That's putting it mildly. Talk on the street indicates that First are in for one hell of a barrage of complaints. The 74/A is just not fast enough, will not be reliable, will not serve Dewsbury Road and will inconvienience a lot of people. Why the hell do East End Park residents need an 86 every 20 mins (along with the 90 for the hospital), when they only just justify needing the half hourly 61. One of the 74s could have been diverted to serve Dewsbury Road. One 86 per hour could have been kept on the current route. Also, why didn't First extend the 90 into Leeds via the 63 route, after all they know deep down that the new 90 will not get used much between Cross Green and the Shaftsbury due to the length of time it will take to reach town.

Looking at the Middleton changes and it seems strange that the area to the east of Belle Isle Road (the area currently served by the 85/86/87 and will be served by the 74/74A) no longer has a link to Middleton
To solve this I would have extended the 74 from Belle Isle Sharp House via the New Forest development to Middleton Thorpe Lane and then as the 74 route, hence making the 74 a full circular rather than the ridiculous horseshoe shape route it is now

Might be new but still not 100% correct as they haven't changed the 18 and 18A around in Colton and Garforth (18A still terminates at Colton and extends to Garforth at peak times and the 18 goes to Garforth during the day according to the map).
Also, following the discussion in another thread, it seems that the 33 and 33A is still the Light Green Line despite the change on its destination displays.

Much thought doesn't seem to have gone into how the 4/16/40 connect in Pudsey, rather they have just squeezed the 40/40A in wherever it would fit. I think really this map could do with a full reimagining as it is essentially the original map with lots of extra bits now squashed in. For increased simplicity couldn't they omit evening/Sunday only extensions of routes like they did when the Overground map first launched?

Something that nobody has mentioned was that the LED Next Bus displays in shelters have mentioned "Service changes on the 1st February" on the third line.

Route 87a (the sunday service) is decscribed in the timetable change information page as unchanged, has still appeared on new timetables at pre change bus stops (eg on Pepper Road, Middleton Road etc), HOWEVER it is described as following the 87 (via Bell Isle Road and Winrose Drive) on the route description. Where exactly does this route go?

Post by Craig on Feb 1, 2009 18:39:39 GMT 1
I had noticed this too, but it would be my guess that they are right in saying the 87A is unchanged as it is probably following the same route (Pepper Road, Raylands etc). Probably just a mistake in the timetable.

The 87A still goes the same way through the Raylands Estate.
