I have received the information below from First Bus:
"First Bus is supporting customers in West Yorkshire to plan ahead for their travel arrangements during the festive holiday period.
We have invested in maintaining later journeys on Christmas Eve and for the first time we will operate a special service on New Year’s Day. These services are being introduced without funding support, with the aim of exploring customer demand. We will use this data to determine future service provision.
Services will operate as normal up to and including Monday 23 December, after which there will changes to services per the below schedule.
We will be advising customers, and would ask you to advise constituents, to visit the First Bus website for full details, and to follow our social media for updates. A campaign to raise awareness of bus timetables throughout the festive period will begin from Friday 29 November.
The overview of service availability is as follows:
- Christmas Eve – Saturday service with early finish on some routes.
- Christmas Day – No service.
- Boxing Day – Special service on selected routes.
- Friday 27-Monday 30 December – Saturday service (Sunday timetable 29 December).
- New Year’s Eve - Saturday service with early finish on some routes.
- New Year’s Day - Special service on selected routes.
The normal timetable will resume on Tuesday 2 January 2025.
