Nice! Although a shame they didn't take the opportunity to give it a new number. I still think two separate routes between White Rose and Horsforth going completely different ways is confusing for potential passengers at both ends of the route.

Hello wyguy66..
My thoughts exactly and its just a huge relief to loads of folk that Yorkshire Buses have taken the plunge to keep the 9 route going - So credit to them :-)
Cheers,
Bryan.

Although I'm not familiar with that area so I don't know if any other services run down that road, but if none do already then I don't think anyone would reroute their services that far, unless Arriva maybe decides to do so to. Although that would probably at the expense of some route reliability and journey length.

The point in doing it is that there is now a pretty major link between Stanningley/ Farsley/ Intake and Kirkstall missing.

That link can be done fairly simply between the 16 & 49/91 At Bramley - compared to alot of broken links over the past few years that is a good compromise

Especially as they may still have a walk on the Kirkstall end from Burey Road.

The faster 508 service from today appears to be a single deck service (today anyway). 69483 was on the first departure from Halifax at 09:47 with 69582 on the 10:02 departure from Leeds, 69374 is also out on the route. The Sunday 10:02 departure from Leeds involves the bus running empty from Halifax depot to Leeds, it seems a missed opportunity to run this as a slightly earlier 08:47 first departure of the day from Halifax rather than 09:47 been the first.

I don't know whether the service interworks with anything else but I saw 3388x and a 37735 (377xx anyhoo) coming out of Leeds as a 508 this afternoon

Most trips interwork with 549 single deck route on Sunday. Mon-Sat should be double decker 3 buses most likely enviros I'm guessing.

Did anyone manage to have a look at the loadings on the 508 today? I should imagine it was absolutely rammed to the brim with people now that it goes a quicker way into town!... not.

York Hospital Park and Ride has been withdrawn on April 1st so the re-opened Poppleton Park and Ride, also introduced on April 1st, could well be using buses previously used on the Hospital Park and Ride, and not some of the Leeds Electric fleet as rumoured.

Why would they need to source any additional vehicles, when they've got a dozen electric Versas that have been sitting in James Street doing nothing for the last couple of years? Interestingly, the 59 isn't tracking on bustimes so I don't know what vehicles they have been using!

The power units in the Versas are damaged beyond economic repair, one Versa is undergoing trials with a new power supply however that's not guaranteed to work so the rest won't have any work done until a fully tested power unit is approved, be it that or another one.

Was that from their previous use on P&R, or because they've been sitting in a shed for two years unused? It doesn't say much for the powertrain if 5 years of fairly light duties was enough to knacker them 😲

I think I saw a StreetLite on the 59 on Saturday morning then a MetroDecker at the P&R site early evening.

Looking forward to seeing them all back out

Seems that there are some improved local services in Ripon from Sunday although the new North Yorkshire Council isn't that much improved on the old NYCC for information; at least you do not now need to dowload a pdf only to find its not changed. Dales & District are listed along with the council minibus fleet and Saturday journeys are to be introduced. www.northyorks.gov.uk/roads-parking-and-travel/public-transport/bus-service-changes-and-newsRS1 to the western suburbs gets a new route "with additional journeys every half hour" and theire is new RS4 to North Bridge.
