There's always room for improvement, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. Not complaining about the overbusing in Elland, its just an observation. I say I wished West Yorkshire was a non-PTE area as it'd stop vanity schemes such as cycleways being built at taxpayers expense which are then...

So Skircoat Road will become an enlarged version of Millwood (Todmorden). Looks akin to a tenners worth of branding.

That's OK then. As I'm looking at doing it as a career, plus I'd never be out of work.

The 548 has become a circular from the timetable I got from Halifax. Journeys from Halifax to Nunnery Lane appear to terminate in Brighouse but they don't, they're only there for three minutes before departing Brighouse bus station to Nunnery Lane before running back to Brighouse where they...

By the sound of it, I'm guessing that the new 5 will interwork with the 8.

How does this fair with doing the PCV licence and/or CPC through an independent provider? As I'm currently in the process of obtaining said licence through an independant provider.

Isn't there a low bridge somewhere around Westbury? as if First are looking at adding in a new route, they're going to have to reroute it to avoid said low bridge. I'd be very suprised to see deckers being used as far as Warminster on the D1 unless its going be revert to the 265.

I once had a woman (aged 24) ask me if I was heading to a town, the same one as me. They asked if I were happy sharing a taxi with them. So I thought and said OK, I can see why. It transpires that the local taxis (that I've never used despite living in the town for 12 years) have employed a...

Rebranding has been taking place in West Yokshire with Morley being the first to get the new signs, Brighouse has been rebranded for the third time in its 24 year existance with Sowerby Bridge and Mythomroyd gaining the RA2 signage. Huddersfield has limited RA2 stickered all over the station, I...

Maybe a minimum acceptable standard should be introduced to ensure that services are properly promoted so that they don't dwindle (through lack of patronage) to the point where they are withdrawn. What gets me is that some firms use the excuse of we don't have any spare capital to print...

The all new 501 / X1 between Halifax and Huddersfield has been branded as Elland Lines. I very much doubt we'll see any branding appiled to the buses or any publicity printed to promote the relaunch but we do at least get a very North Somerset Excel-ish style route map, as seen below. I'm...

Considering that the nearby NCP car park is to be torn down too, the concrete from both that and the current Interchange could be broken up and used as backfill to level the land out before rebuilding. As for Santander, the underneath of that could be filled up with more broken concrete but in...

Isn't it the same with a Quality Partnership / Enhanced Partnership? Stick new buses on a newly launched route with a decent frequency which screams investment which in turn moves the rejects previously used on to marginal routes or for scrap. How I see it is if the Combined Authority were...

I've had a look at an old 2017 timetable which shows a few Sunday extras that ran between Halifax and Hebden, these it seem ran via Burnley Road, Commercial Street, Crown Street and left into New Road before heading back to Halifax. I can see what you mean by having it running to what's known...

From what I recall the only reason why Halifax (the 1989 / previous design) and Todmorden were painted green rather than Metro's garish red was down to Calderdale Council wanting them green to fit in to their colour scheme. Isn't Keighley owned by Transdev or is it just the travel centre that...
