Me and my lad went on a ride around today:
103 to Wakefield (bus 1018)
148 to Pontefract (bus 1308)
411 to Castleford (bus 1957)
166 to Leeds (bus 1968)
444 to Wakefield (bus 1607)
Has anyone got any other good Arriva “day rover” routes to suggest for next time?

Could do something like
where ever your from to Wakefield
425/427 to Bradford
268 to Dewsbury
202/203 to Huddersfield
229 to Leeds
117 to Ossett
102 to Eastmoor
104 to Wakefield
Maybe something like this?
Or this
195 to Hemsworth
496 to Wakefield
148/149 to Knottingley
188 to Castleford
167/168 to Leeds where you can go on a versa?
254/255 to Hecky
Maybe 268 to Dewsbury
126/127 to Wakefield
Or even this
110 to Leeds
164 to Selby
405 to Doncaster
408/409 to Pontefract
147 or 187 to Wakefield a different way to Wakefield than the usual 148/149
Think you might have to set off early for this one
How about this from (25th July)
231/232 to Huddersfield
202/203 to Leeds
201 to Hecky
254 to Dewsbury
268 to Bradford
425/427 to Wakefield
187 to Castleford
189 to Wakefield

Cheers mate, some good ones there. Like the idea of the Selby/Doncaster one.

By the way the 166 from Castleford to Leeds was a good one, going via Great Preston, Kippax, and Garforth.
Quite enjoyed the run out on the 148 too.
The 411 was an odd one around the vicinity of X-Scape, but it was the shortest one of the day.

Hey Stan hope you don't mind mate.
Got another suggestion
425/427 to Morley
213 to Batley
281 to Dewsbury
283 to Bradford
268 to Cleckheaton
254/255 to Leeds
Any bus you fancy to Wakey
trying something different on this one. As the 283 apparently is quicker than the 268 from Dewsbury to Bradford.
Also at least you got an MMC on the 410/411 which was nice.

Actually there's only 7 mins difference; 268 takes 1hr 7 mins and 283 takes exactly 1hr when there's not traffic delays. |

It's still quicker than the 268 though and its a different option as well than the usual 268. |

Anything done via Leeds should be done Monday to Friday daytime as Leeds seems wrecked on a weekend, if it's not excess shoppers getting stuck in roadworks it's demonstrations, and if it's not that it's people fishing out bombs in the river, and yes that happened yesterday causing something like 4 hours of chaos.

I was looking at the bus times website and the 411 seems to be mainly operated by single deckers unless I’m mistaken, so it was nice to get a double decker on it! |

Yes Leeds was rammed yesterday, mainly with pubgoers. Lots of women in very little clothing around! I just missed the bomb scare on the way in on the 166 as it was clear. On the way out of Leeds, the 444 took the X41 route out of the city centre by going under the dark arches and past Asda House, picking up the normal route on the approach to the M621 roundabout. |
