    Why is another platform being built at Bradford Forster Square?

    Wasn't there a suggestion at some point of these services travelling through rather than reversing at leeds and using hambleton curve to join ecml. This does mean missing out Wakefield though

    Operating company staff presence at bus stations

    First leeds had park n ride supervisors based at elland road, temple green and Stourton. They made them redundant earlier this year and replaced them with a first customer adviser who now basically just sells tickets.

    TfGM Bus franchising

    Leeds now has 2 number 7's transdevs service to Harrogate via Wetherby and firsts service to primley park. They even both served same stop on new briggate at one point. I heard this caused all sorts of issues

    Bus stations - new plans/closures/redevelopment

    Pudsey has to be one of the oddest ones. It was built in 2010 for £3.25m and has 6 stands around a circular central island, whereas West Yorkshire PTE tends to prefer drive in/ reverse out stations.

    Pride buses in the UK

    I wouldn't say excluded but I've had some really uncomfortable journeys due to homophobes on a bus - some of the vile things they were spouting. The problem is no one backs you up if you say anything. I've got off and waited for another bus before now

    Airport services and how do fares vary around the UK

    Didn't use to be. You used to have people get off at the stop before the airport as it was ao much cheaper as the airport charged high access fees to the bus companies
