Transdev Blazefield

[Class 165]

The most recent change to the registration was registered effective 25 February 2025 as far as I can see.

Ok, I don't use the bus too often, but I'm surprised the change happened that far back! I guess I'm not that observant

The timetable is a right hodge podge now, there's only a 4 hour period when it's at a 30 minute frequency, the rest of the day varying between 35 minutes to 55 minutes gaps (as well as hourly in late evening).

I would've thought that they'll have lost passengers on local journeys due to the lack of regular timings throughout the day.

It looks like the change in frequency in the afternoon is because one of the buses on the A1 is used on a school run. Idle depot took on said school service from Keighley in February 2025 which coincides with the timetable changes to the A1/A2/A3.

Thanks for the info, it's interesting to know the reason behind it

No problem. The morning school run is operated using an A2/A3 bus instead of an A1 bus.

So would the 59 go through the estate itself, via the route of the 3 going towards Harrogate and reverse going out?

So would the 59 go through the estate itself, via the route of the 3 going towards Harrogate and reverse going out?

When it has been previously diverted due to road works it has followed the 3 route outbound to the A59 and turning off the A59 earlier to follow largely the inbound 3 route i.e. then direct along Jennyfield Drive.
