Better Buses for East Leeds - re-instate our route to The Springs!
Re-instate bus routes X26 and X27 – Leeds – Thorpe Park (via York Road).

Why is this important?
We are concerned as local councillors, that 2 important bus routes have been withdrawn from our area, without an adequate replacement service.
X26/X27 – Leeds – Thorpe Park (via York Road)
These routes serve our social and economic centres and are important to our local community.
All sorts of people living in East Leeds used these buses to get to and from town, to the hospital, to work and to visit family, as well as to use the leisure facilities at The Springs.
We have therefore written to the Managing Director of First Group and asked for this decision to be reconsidered.
Other local routes have been withdrawn but replaced by other services. This is not the case with the X26/X27.
We will continue to campaign for better bus services across our area.
Bus services should be affordable, accessible and make good connections - with the profits being put back into the service, rather than skimmed off the top for shareholders while services are reduced!
