I wonder why there were never any dedicated bus links from railway stations in the area, ie catch the train part-way, then straight on a bus.
The proposed Guiseley to Airport link never happened (the 737, A3 does cover) but the 62 Menston to Airport may cover a route.
Apperley Bridge to Airport (A2 covers) Guiseley to Airport (A3 covers) Horsforth to Airport (a temporary experiment as a precursor to the proposed new station link) Kirkstall Forge to Airport (not near the A1 route but a diversion would be inconvenient) Menston to Airport (62, not sure how practical that is unless coming from Ilkley)

Um, I don't know which map you're loooking at, but the A1 goes straight past the end of the Kirkstall Forge access road - you couldn't get any closer without diverting in-and-out along the access road itself!

I have to admit that an express bus from the airport to Leeds would be significantly quicker. When First ran the 757, I used to walk up from Yeadon centre to catch it from opposite Murgatroyds when going into to Leeds after work. This was around 1pm most days, it would be rammed nearly every time, and always was a late running one, but almost every passenger every time was for the city centre, so drivers used to put the 'sorry not in service' display up, and run non stop to Leeds. The journey time was always 20 mins!

The 62 extension replaced it between Menston and the Airport (though the extension to Guiseley had already gone).
