New times on the X60 not really favourable for those who work a 9-5 who now get to work ten minutes earlier and get home ten minutes later! I wonder if the 545pm one now will be a double now usually the 1st evening one before covid the first evening one was a double decker and the 2nd evening X60 was a guaranteed single decker. Never a double at all.

I had a few doubles on it but yes it used to be predominantly singles, it rarely needed a double though and probably even less so now.

I wonder if 231/232 will ever return to its old normal half-hourly rotation. Seems to be the only major bus route which still hasn't returned to a somewhat normal timetable. It was always busy at half hourly intervals.

Yes if any service isn’t back to normal by September I’d be guessing it might be a permanent change
So as well as the 231/232, there is the 35 & 54/55 in Leeds and the 622/626 in Bradford which are either operating reduced routes or reduced times

Well I hope either the late journeys on the 16 or 508 are reinstated to Farsley As things stand our last bus leaves Leeds at 22:30.

It was always busy at half hourly intervals. Yorkshire tiger have put all their timetables on their website. The 231 and 232 are shown as back to hourly each and half-hourly together.

Just been on Harrogate bus company site, the 7 is still hourly on Saturdays and every 90 minutes on Sundays, I believe they could definitely put the 7 back to regular times as they have had many buses full at Seacroft.

It's messed up my First West Yorkshire ticket option too.

It's messed up my First West Yorkshire ticket option too. A lot of Rodley/ Calverley folk left fuming including myself. A 30 minute frequency for these places is absolutely p!ss poor. First completely screwed up the operation when changing it to Bramley operation. Leeds bus station stand change (4/5 stands away than previously), no connection to the 671/ 640/1, stupid timings with buses running 5 minutes after the 60. This hasn't just happened cos of covid, they have been screwing it up since they started operating it. At least Transdev have put deckers on it recently. Hopefully this route will increase to a 20 minute frequency in the future. Part of me thinks deregulation was good for passengers, but things like this make me severely doubt it. Cheers First Leeds, keep up the good work!

First and Metro would announce it if withdrawn. Where have you even got this info from as there's no news articles for it at all. The 35 is currently running Park Row to Kirkstall but for all we know it could be of back full route in a few weeks time when the Headrow works fully finish

The 35 is withdrawn from w/c 4th Oct, the last day of short working operation to Kirkstall Morrisons is tomorrow .(source Metro service changes online) as someone with First connections, I find this another poor commercial decision along with the withdrawal of the 784 , giving commercial advantage to our competitors (Transdev) another piece of WYRCC history down the pan .

I’m guessing the 54 & 55 are withdrawn as well? They’ve had 2 chances to come back and haven’t.

Would imagine if they were commercially viable they would keep so not sure I get that comment. Presume the shorts were not working and they are using the vehicular resource on something else considering reduced occupancy. I do seem to recall back in my day (which was a long, long time back) 670 was a complete dog of a route that made nowt. 784 fits into the profile of TD, I was amazed the link wasn't severed years back, First Leeds main bread and butter being big people moving routes, so was suprised this jaunt into North Yorkshire lasted as long as it did. The new X84 with improved 4 buses between Leeds and Otley, and 2 per hour at proper half hourly intervals seems a good move. I had a great time at WYRCC but times change, what worked then probably doesn't now.

Off-the-top-of-my-head service idea for Transdev: 60A between Idle and Leeds, at least during the Monday to Friday peaks.

I don't know exactly when that was published, but I deffo read it several days before this discussion started as I was completely amazed when I saw people questioning the report's credibility.

I doubt most passengers will have seen it there. I'd wager there will be a few surprised passengers on Monday who currently deliberately go for the quieter 35 over the 33 or 34. It's been in that list a while, but wasn't there when it was first published (nor was the 62 which seems to be formalising a route change that's been in place for a while).

Who on Kirkstall Road deliberately goes for the 35 when they have a frequent service?
