The direct buses are a great idea as it also minimises the journey time and thus the amount of time a person spends on the bus.
Could we start to see more of a flexible operating model develop on the back of all this?

Odd that there's nothing about this on First's website.

Daytime services increase on some routes, including 662 to a 15-minute frequency. Evening service will remain at reduced frequency. From 31 May Sunday services generally revert to timetabled frequency all day.

First Bradford looking at increasing services next week, possibly Saturday timetables?

I’m still not sure there is a market for buses to run every 10 mins at off peak times. Maybe that should wait until 15th June when the shops reopen

Arriva are reviving most timetables from 31st May. I think the 188s are going back to the enviro 200s with these changes and and I think that is a disgrace, if the social distancing rules apply, how many people can you fit on an enviro 200 with these social distancing rules? 5 people? I think 188 will go back to enviro 200s because the 411 and 410 are going to every half hour and the 167 is coming back too

There is a very odd split of services where First run Monday to Saturdays and Yorkshire Tiger run Sundays as a tender in those documents.
In Bradford Tiger still seem to be running the services but in Halifax & Huddersfield First are running them. The 571 seems to be run by both.

just looked at the Yorkshire tiger Elland depot new times from 31st may they have only increased the frequency of services 20,21,22 only and all other services are running a sunday service which seems odd how will they cope from June 15 when all shop reopen

Looks like this special X4 service is for one week only, as with the 4/4G going back up to every 12 mins next week, its no longer needed

It has certainly lifted my spirits seeing frequencies being increased, and hopefully will stay this way, without having to go back again. It's just a little bit of light appearing at the end of the tunnel, but is a good step forward.

The 571 seems to be run by both. 323 is also an odd mixture with Tiger running an hourly service 7 days a week but First only running every 2 hours Mon-Sat daytime. I’m sure there could have been some coordination here with First leaving Tiger to run the 323 and continue the ticket acceptance arrangements.

So Wainstalls for example has back its early morning bus into Halifax, thanks to First, and its late night bus back, but still no buses during the daytime. Similarly for other routes, either no buses at all or a limited service of just three or four return trips.

It loaded just fine. I didn't say it didn't work. I said it was wrong. It doesn't include most of the increases in frequency from next week. Although the link still works it doesn't seem to be linked from any other page on the Metro website.

Of course when it comes to secondary schools all we know is that there will be ‘some contact time for years 10 & 12’ at some point in the future. The full school isn’t likely to open until September.
