i understand the 2 lancaster - skipton trips are commercial. Well perhaps only between Skipton and Settle. Prepared to be proven wrong.

Didnt realise the wetherby 7 went round there - thanks The 781 currently has a curious route. Meanwood road and stonegate road to moortown corner, then back to King Lane and then across Alwoodley Lane. Then up through harewood then across through Pool to Otley. takes over an hour! has it...

If Kirkby Lonsdale can run a commercial service between Settle and Skipton, including on Sundays, then surely First should be able to do the same Skipton - Ilkley (where there is no railway competition)

where do they use the same road? Regent Street? History of the 7's Used to be (About 1963 I think - I was little then!) 34 (Alwoodley via Harrogate Road) 35 (Alwoodley via King Lane) 37 (Shadwell) 69 (Moortown - cramner bank) 70 (primley park) All went from Central Bus Station The 34's and...

The Hadrians Wall tourist bus is AD122 Its the year Hadrian ordered the wall to be built

leeds trams had the number as the destination so for instance, 4 was Kirkstall and 22 was Temple Newsham so a Kirkstall - Temple Newsham tram would display 22 but on the return it would display a 4 So trams on the same route going in opposite directions would have different numbers. * Trams...

I had a west yorks train and bus day ranger but I wanted to get to Settle. I needed to change at Shipley, so I went to the ticket office there and asked for a ticket to complete my journey. A Steeton and Silsden - Settle single Northern ticket machines wont sell that ticket that dont start...

Leeds - York via Harrogate trains were always shown as going to Poppleton on Leeds stn. Dunno if thats still true.

Just found there are 2 route 7's in leeds Infirmary St to Primley Park (First), and Bus station to Wetherby via Thorner (Harrogate and dist) seems to be anarchy...

Is the answer to number all bus routes as 42?

so route numbers for locals, headcode/reporting numbers for inter city (whatever that means) So from Leeds you could have 1 for Harrogate, 2 for Ilkley, 3 for Skipton, 4 carlisle, 5 lancaster and so on. Same number both ways. Some laser printed big numbers on A4 sheets, laminated and in a...

NIH. (Not invented here)

isnt a main line where there are lots of heroin junkies riding trains? I'll get me coat.

So i havent got a clue about geography and I have a reservation on a train to Birmingham. I look at the PIS, and there are trains to southampton, taunton and exeter. If my reservation said 1W23 and the PIS said 1W23 there would be no confusion. Airlines use numbers, not times and destinations.

lots of thought on bus numbers. so why dont trains have route numbers displayed? Or maybe display reporting numbers. thread here https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/route-numbers-on-trains.184314/#post-4058072

Is it too off topic to ask why we are used to seeing buses with number but not trains? I know the old Southern used to do route numbers, but that went when Mk1 stock was replaced. I would welcome PIS displaying reporting numbers, and have them printed in timetables.

I started the bus number thread and never expected the response. so as a spin off from that, why dont trains show reporting numbers or route numbers? Especially if they were in public timetables and reservation tickets. You could then be sure that you were on the right train. So - thoughts...

What about Leeds - Huddersfield - Manchester? I terms of train frequency its up there.

Pennine didnt when they had coaches. dunno about later when they had buses - I was living in the midlands. Trent Barton Dont have numbers round Nottingham. they have route names like the Calverton Connection Samuel ledgard didnt display numbers. cant remember if Kippax Motors (part of...

hearing them doing 100mph from nearby road was also good.
