West Yorkshire buses: Full list of timetable service changes from February across Leeds, Wakefield and Halifax

Investment from the West Yorkshire Combined Authority will create new links between Huddersfield and Halifax, and increase the frequency of services on some key routes across large swathes of the region.

Wakefield in particular will benefit from the latest changes, with eight services seeing evening frequencies uplifted from one bus an hour to one every 30 minutes.

The Mayor of West Yorkshire Tracy Brabin, who has stepped in to support bus services, said: “Better bus services are a vital part of my mission for a better-connected West Yorkshire.

“I’m delighted that these new and improved services will be hitting our streets next month – connecting communities, reducing reliance on cars and getting people where they need to go.”

New links will be created between Huddersfield and Halifax town centres, Huddersfield Royal Infirmary and Calderdale Royal Hospital, in partnership with operator First.

While the Combined Authority, working with operator Transdev Blazefield, launched new, cheaper and more regular services linking Leeds, Keighley and Shipley in September.

From Sunday, February 18, the following services will change across West Yorkshire.
