Leeds councillor Tom Hinchcliffe hints at 'positive news' for Bramley passengers after Yorkshire Buses talks

Tom Hinchcliffe, who was elected onto the city council for Labour in Bramley and Stanningley earlier this month, said he’d been in talks with operators in a bid to improve services covering the area. First Bus’ 508 bus was among dozens of services altered in April, with its route changed to cut out Bramley, as well as neighbouring Farsley and Rodley.

Councillor Hinchcliffe suggested that although that decision was unlikely to be reversed, a separate service may be re-routed to mitigate the impact of the cut. The number 9, which runs from Horsforth to White Rose Centre, was rescued by Yorkshire Buses after First ditched that service too.
