That looks more like a list from 1999 rather than 1989
The 711 certainly didn’t run in 1989 as the White Rose Centre hadn’t been built!

In Rider days, the 608 and 609 were Bradford to Greengates, one going via Ravenscliffe to Greengates and back via Harrogate Rd, the other going via Harrogate Rd and then Ravenscliffe on the way back. Other Rider routes I remember (at various times): 624 was Scholes to Cottingley 628 Bradford to Stoney Ridge Hospital 640/641 were Buttershaw to Shipley, with the 640 extending to Hirst Wood. 643/644 Buttershaw to Thackley McMillan School 642 was Buttershaw to Hirst Wood (Sunday Only), combined with 640. While the 640 went down Highfield Rd to Thackley Corner, the 642 didn't go into Morrisons, went as the 643/644 down Albion Rd and up Leeds Rd to Thackley and between Shipley & Hirst Wood used Saltaire Rd, not Kirkgate. 648 Bradford to Otley via Apperley Bridge, Yeadon, Airport and Pool. 661 Bradford to Baildon via Knoll Estate Think the 711 was Bradford to Troydale As stated elsewhere, this list cannot have been from 1989 as there was no White Rose Centre and when I was at school around 1995, it was definitely the 624 to Cottingley, not the 675..

And 629 was Thorpe Edge not 609 I thought I'd remembered clipping my 5p Saverstrip on the 600 Shopperhopper, but all the photos online I can find are 700s. None of them are in Yorkshire Rider livery though. Did it change at some point?

(Yorkshire Rider started in 1986, not 1989). But aside from that, this is a pretty complete mid-90s list, around the time of the Badgerline acquisition. There may be some slight inaccuracies as this is from memory but it’s pretty much right :
72 Bradford - Stanningley - Leeds (joint with YRL) 251 Bradford - Dewsbury (joint with Yorkshire Buses?) 600 Bradford shopping service 601/602 City Circle 607 Thornton - Bradford 608/609 Bradford - Greengates Circular 610/611 Hungerhill - Bradford - Troydale 612/613/684/685 Bradford - Buttershaw circular 614 Odsal - Moore Ave - Bradford - Fagley 615 Bradford - Allerton (Saffron Drive) 616 Bradford - Allerton (Stoney Lane) 617/618 Allerton - Bradford - Holme Wood 619 B.R.I. - Bradford 620 Bierley - Bradford - Cottingley - Bingley - Eldwick 621 Bierley - Bradford - Haworth Rd 622/623 Brighouse - Bradford- Eldwick 624 Scholes - Bradford - Cottingley 625 Brighouse - Bradford - Eldwick 626 Brighouse - Bradford - Shipley 627 Brighouse - Bradford - West Royd 628 Bradford - Stoney Ridge Hospital 629 Bradford- Five Lane Ends 630 Bradford - Tyersal 634 Bradford - Odsal - Moore Ave - Bradford - Fagley 635 Clayton - Bradford - Troydale 636 Clayton - Bradford - Bradford Moor 637 Clayton - Bradford - Bradford Moor 638 Clayton - Bradford - Pudsey 640 Buttershaw - Bradford - Hirst Wood 641 Buttershaw - Bradford - Shipley 642 Buttershaw - Bradford - Hirst Wood 643/644 Buttershaw - Bradford - Greengates 645 Buttershaw - Bradford - Hirst Wood 647 Bradford - Greengates - Airport - Otley 648 Bradford - Greengates - Guiseley - Otley 649 Bradford - Baildon - Garsdale Cres - Esholt - Menston 650 Bradford - Guiseley - Ilkley 651 Bradford - Guiseley - Otley - Ilkley 652 Bradford - Guiseley - Otley - Ilkley 653 Bradford - Guiseley - Otley - Harrogate 654 Bradford - Guiseley - Otley - Harrogate - Knaresborough 656 Bradford - Guiseley - Otley 657 Bradford - Baildon (Lucy Hall Drive) 658 Bradford - Baildon (Lucy Hall Drive) 659 Bradford - Baildon (Lucy Hall Drive) 660 West Bowling - Bradford - Baildon Towngate 661 West Bowling - Bradford - High Baildon 670 Bradford - Greengates - Leeds 671 Bradford - Greengates - Leeds 673 Bradford - Shipley Glen 675 West Bowling - Bradford - Shipley Glen 676 Bradford - Baildon Towngate 677 West Bowling - Bradford - Shipley Glen 678 Bradford- Baildon Towngate 679 Bradford - Hirst Wood 680 Smiddles Lane - Bradford - Holme Wood 681 Bradford - Shelf - Halifax 682 Bradford - Shelf - Halifax 684/685 (see 612/613) 690 Bradford - Wilsden - Bingley 747 Bradford- Greengates - Airport - Otley 810 Five Lane Ends - Hirst Wood 811 Bradford - Five Lane Ends - Shipley 812 Bradford - Five Lane Ends 844 Bradford - Horton Bank Top 845 Bradford - Odsal 846 Bradford - Horton Bank Top 847 Bradford - Horton Bank Top 896 Bradford - Ravenscliffe Ave X6 Huddersfield - Bradford - Leeds X33 Bradford - Wakefield - Sheffield (joint with West Riding and Yorkshire Buses)

Other YRB services I can remember at various points: 737 Bradford - Airport (run using coaches?) The 615 and 616 were numbered 605 and 606 before circa 1990. The 607 used to extend across Bradford to West Bowling for a while in the late 80s or early 90s There was a 633 which ran to a hospital in Clayton in the 80s which I think was a YRB service The 622 or 623 extended from Brighouse to Huddersfield in the early 90s 629 Sandy Lane - Bradford - Apperley Bridge (another service that was around in the late 80s/early 90s)
The last two on this list are services I remember riding on with my dad as the driver!

Here's some that I can remember from the period just after deregulation.
W6 - Wyke to Scholes local service with the occasional trips to Norwood Green. Worked by minibus. 296 - Bradford to Pullan Avenue.
There was also quite a complex arrangement on the Clayton to Pudsey / Troydale route. 635-638 as depending on the time of day they started at either Clayton termini; Town End or The Avenue and ran to either Bradford Moor, Pudsey or Troydale. I seem to recall that there were 8 buses an hour in the peak.
The Sandy Lane to Apperley Bridge 629 service also ran as X8/X9 at one stage but I can't remember just when this was. It may well have been before deregulation.
And, here's just one more. Does anybody remember the 2 journeys a day service 603? This was short lived and introduced as a result of the work of a local councillor in Queensbury. It ran Bradford to Queensbury Cenotaph and then took the 526 route up New Park Rd before running down Brighouse and Denholme Rd to turn left at Queensbury traffic lights for its trip back into Bradford. I only caught it once.

Somewhere my dad has a January 1988 Metro book (it’s a bible-length thing!) with every bus and rail timetable in West Yorkshire in it. I’m going to borrow it to help with threads like this!

Immediatley after deregulation, the W6 was operated by Halifax Garage, I think it was for just a few months, when it then passed to Bradford. We used the Optare Freight Rovers 1701-10

In the days of the bread vans, there was the 814 which IIRC, was Shipley to 5 Lane Ends via the back roads of Wrose.
This later got extended to Hirst Wood via Wycliffe Gardens with an 815 variant. Not sure how they differed (unless the 815 started at Saltaire Roundabout). These had by Bradford Traveller days, been merged into the 811/812 which themselves were merged with the 845-847.
The 296 mentioned above was later renumbered 896 and the route is now part of the 660 along with the old 810 between 5 Lane Ends and Shipley (which also used to extend to Saltaire).

When I was a kid (1980s) the City to Allerton routes (up Allerton Road) were 616 (to Stoney Lane) and the 615 (to Saffron Drive). The 605 went to Allerton Saffron Drive via Bell Dean Road rather than Allerton Rd. The 606 also went via Bell Dean but terminated at Bracewell Ave/Ayresome Oval. It wasn’t until deregulation that the 617/618 were extended to Allerton, these services previously terminating at the BRI.
