This isn't so much a missed route but I do miss late journeys on Coastliner from York to Leeds, doubt they'll ever return but with this £2 single offer, a late bus from York to Leeds say around 10.30pm with a late return back to York from Leeds around 11.30pm may do well, particularly as Tadcaster and Copmanthorpe have no train station.

503 extension from Halifax to Bradford via Ovenden,Illingworth & Thornton I can't say I'd use it often now, but I used to catch that on my way home from school occasionally. Not the fastest route, but I could chat to my friend who lived in Thornton. If nicely timed it could give 2 options an hour for Halifax to Keighley with a change at Denholme Gate to the 67.

I now live in Illingworth, as a Bradford City season ticket holder it would be usefull for me to use that route if still existed on matchdays instead of having to change buses in Halifax

X60 is a route that is still missed. A lot of people used it.

Bradford City Circle 601/602 would be currently very useful to avoid the roadworks in the city centre.

200 Leeds/Bradford - Keighley - Lancaster - Morecambe.
Loved that route. Glorious countryside along the lower edges of the Dales and through Bowland and fish and chips at Atkinson's in Morecambe before getting back on the bus.
Usually threw up either a K-YCL Leyland Olympian or an ex-Coastliner Royale bodied Volvo Olympian.
Happy days.

Looking back, I think towards the end it was too ‘inner’, mostly linking together the inner city that I’m not massively sure are massive traffic generators In Bradford the outer ring road actually runs through the inner city and quite a lot of the city sits outside of it. Meanwhile in Leeds the outer ring road is much further out and a much lower proportion of the city sits outside, hence the 8/9 could serve places in their own right like Seacroft shopping centre, Middleton, White Rose, Pudsey, whereas the 601/602 was just continuous urban road with terraced houses and derelict mills that were once traffic generators but are now scruffy carpet shops.

You're probably right there. It didn’t seem to have many passengers as reliability dropped due to increased traffic on the ring road. I did think an outer ring would be more useful, but I'm not sure of the exact route, sort of Wibsey – Clayton – Allerton – Shipley – Bolton Junction – Thornbury — Odsal

Yeah I always remember my Saturday morning job as a teenager in the mid-90s. I could get the 607 straight there. Someone else got the 602 city circle from Little Horton to Thornton Road - at 5.30am on a Saturday morning. No way they could do that journey now without a taxi.
