Reinstating the frequency that the 262 used to run Possibly but the question is it going to be similarly to the 262 from when it ran Huddersfield to Brighouse (30 mins with 1 an hour on full route and 1 an hour on the Upper Heaton circular ) or on the frequency when 262 ran to Dewsbury which was every 15 mins (30 mins with 2 buses to Dewsbury an hour and 2 bus an hour on the circular)

Team Pennine have tweeted this evening about a "quick bus into Huddersfield" from Kirkheaton, which suggests we'll see an enhanced service around Kirkheaton with Arriva's 261 service and Transdev's TBC service.

Oooooooh arriva wont like that ! It is day number 1 after buying it and they go to attack but did not think that was transdev style. I am actually very surprised.

It's more to do with Councilors whinging. Surprised it's not running Mirfield yet as they've been whinging about missing out.

Hadn't realised Kirkheaton was down to only one bus an hour these days. Looks like interesting times ahead.

First batch of registrations for September 4th/6th are through from Arriva: - Route and timetable changes for: 64, 189, 493
- Amended timetables for: Selby 1, 2, 3, 5, 42; 126/127, 200/201/201A, 202/203, 205, 212/212A, 213, 228, 229, 254/254A/255/X25, 256, 261, 268, 271, 401, 415, 476, TK1, TK2
- Plus amendments to a handful of school services
Doesn't look like anything earth-shattering - most interesting bit will be the exact "Changes to timetable" on the 261!

Another 189 route change, within two months of axing the Leeds portion

Remember a timetable change could be the 0520 bus now runs 2 minutes later
I’ve lost track the amount of times people here have got excited about possible changes, coming up with all these wild ideas, and then they end up just being “A revised timetable to improve reliability” where you can barely actually work out what has changed

Thought the Kirkheaton service might be more interesting than just more 261/2s.
Here's hoping the 502 becomes better timed with the 67 between Bradford and Denholme Gate and possibly the 526 at the other end of the route.

I doubt they'll be anything major, they've only got one week's worth of data
They'll just be tidying up the timetables changing times and workings that made sense to Arriva but doesn't make sense to Transdev
Also probably detangling the Halifax rural services so the Merc's can be introduced on certain routes rather than appearing all over like Solos do now

Has this been confirmed? I don't think it will be X1 it might just be shortened down to 35.The thing confirmed about this service is that there will be Optare Tempos running it. As far as I know, 1405 YJ09 EYG is not included in it and apparently may go back to Elland depot to serve the Halifax routes. My guess is 502. As service 502 is being ran by a Volvo B7RLE Wright Eclipse 2 from Rochdale. 1719 - PO59 MLN is the vehicle that seems to be running it. 1719 and either a commander/cadet or a versa.
