There was chat in another thread about local journeys with National Express.
Some that used to be possible are now quite difficult and seem to be available intermittently.
I've just tried looking for tomorrow from Leeds to Bradford (returning Saturday) - it's returned one coach which is on Sunday at 0700 on the 465 (and no return journey). It is a bargain £1.50 (until you add the £1 booking fee). I can't find another day with any results - I assumed the following Sunday might have one, but it doesn't. Having caught the 465 a few times I'd be surprised if it was regularly full from Leeds to Bradford, having started in London.
The longer journey from Leeds to Halifax has availability every day, but ludicrous fares (cheapest is £6.60) - in the other direction no direct journeys are available, they're all £10 and take over 4 hours with a change at Sheffield!
Anyone any idea why local journeys are sometimes available, but not often?

As per my image, there were no services on the day I searched.Off topic i know but what time were you looking at travelling? The reason for asking is some journeys are pick up only at Leeds
