Yorkshire Service Changes
Yorkshire service changes commencing from the 26th and 28th Feb 2022
From 28th February we will be implementing some service changes. Most changes will commence from Monday 28th February, but changes to services 200/201, 229, 254/255 and 268 will commence from Saturday 26th February.
A full summary of the changes can be viewed below. If your service isn’t listed, there are no changes being made to that route.
| Service Number & Route | Service Information |
|---|---|
| 21/22 – Seacroft – Cross Gates – Colton – Halton/Swillington | These services will now be operated by Arriva Yorkshire. |
| 64 - Selby – Thorpe Willoughby – South Milford – Sherburn-in-Elmet – Sherburn Industrial Estate | The routing through Sherburn Industrial Estate is revised. Inbound buses will run the length of Aviation Road and terminate just before the roundabout with Hurricane Way. Outbound buses will return via Aviation Road with a new stop outside the Eddie Stobart Warehouse. |
| 102 - Healey – Ossett – Lupset – Wakefield – Eastmoor | This service is revised to run between Wakefield and Eastmoor only. Between Wakefield and Lupset the route is replaced by new service 122, and between Ossett and Healey the route is replaced by revised service 120. |
| 106 - Wakefield – Belle Isle – Kettlethorpe – Crigglestone – Hall Green | The evening frequency will reduce to hourly, coordinating with service 196 to provide a bus every 30 minutes between Wakefield and Sandal. |
| 110 - Leeds – Robin Hood – Lofthouse – Outwood – Wakefield | We are very disappointed that Leeds City Council have decided to downgrade Crown Point Road to a single lane route with jolting speed humps. To ensure we can continue to provide a resilient and comfortable service, inbound journeys towards Leeds are diverted via South Accommodation Road and East Street. We have tried over the past 12 months to get Leeds City Council to alter their proposals, but without success. We are sorry for the inconvenience we know this will cause our customers. Students for the colleges are advised to alight at the first stop on South Accommodation Road which will now be the closest stop with a 10-minute walk to the colleges. |
