Metro / West Yorkshire Combined Authority now has the service changes listed for April on their website and as linked here:

Focusing on the changes for the services operated by First. The changes for the Colne Valley services 181/183/184/185/186 comes into action from Sunday 16th April 2023...
There is also zero metion of the Nexus Move journeys either so I'm guessing they're withdrawn.
Meanwhile the 508 between Halifax and Leeds sees drastic cuts take place from the 2nd April...
I cannot see why an "X8" simply couldn't be added into a handful of peak hour journeys and wrapped around the remaining 508 journeys, faster journeys should mean attractive journey times.
Even the Leeds Park and Ride services are being pruned from Sunday 2nd April...
Tracy Brabins legacy slowly going in the bin? Maybe, maybe not; but wasting cash on vanity schemes such as rebuilding bus stations and building cycle lanes would have helped (OK, Halifax did need rebuilding although I personally would have prefered everything being routed along Market Street, Commercial Street and George Street where possible) - as the overall costs could instead have been used to subsidies what remains of First West Yorkshire's (and other operators) services. My worry now is could we see practically all evening buses after 7pm cut completely including Friday and Saturday evenings when some people will want to go to the pub, club, theatre or cinema but is unable to because of the lack of evening buses.
