Can anyone remember when and why Arriva pulled the plug on service 201. Also when did Arriva become the sole operators of the 201/2/3 services?. Traditionally these services were run jointly with Tracky, But i cannot remember if Stagecoach ran them after the Tracky takeover. IIRC Stagecoach ran a very short lived X62 Hudds-Kirkheaton-Dewsbury-Leeds service circa 2005/6 and an even shorter lived X61 Hudds-Bradley-Dewsbury-Leeds service.

The 201 was withdrawn April 2005 during the era of many cuts when they also withdrew the 206, 210, 211, 215, 217, 218, 228, 251, 252, 255, 258, 259, 274, 279, 280 & 282 on the same day
Yorkshire Traction stopped providing buses on services 201/2/3 and 219/221 in January 2003. The X62 was introduced at the same time.

The X62 was introduced at the same time. Thanks for your response WYB, I do seem to recall the X62 run by Tracky about that time, But cant remember it lasting long. Stagecoach resurrected it, albeit only briefly. On a different topic, but a similar subject, Do you know if the step-entrance Spectra's which replaced the ALX300's on the 201/2/3 ever carried branding for the route?.

I know I'm two years too late on this subject, but, the reason why Tracky came off the 201/2/3/19/21 routes (Leeds-Huddersfield), was because they were short of drivers, Arriva helped out by registering an Arriva vehicle 5minutes behind the Tracky departure, so, if it didn't run, passengers on had to wait 5minutes, then Tracky made the decision to withdraw from those routes
