*NOTE* This video was taken during December 2020
So its network testing time again, this time we are taking a look at the cross border services operated by First West Yorkshire! This year has seen a reduction in cross border services elsewhere but First Halifax has enhanced theirs with the introduction of the 587 (X58 taken over from Yorkshire Tiger) and the takeover of the Stanfield locals from First Greater Manchester. In this video I take a look at this network sampling corridors to Rochdale and Burnley from Halifax and Todmorden.
Watch to the end for my full verdict including the apparent capacity issues on the Burnley stretch! If you aren't already do subscribe for more content like this!!

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!

Ah cool, that'll make things more convenient with regards to using a First ticket now I got a more direct link to Halifax from Rochdale if I get up there from Oldham! Great video too!

@AndMoreCentral 3 года назад

Aye well I'm unsure if you can buy a First West Yorkshire day on the 184 from Oldham but I know they are valid on that route too through to Huddersfield. Probs best to go to Rochdale to buy the FWY through to Fax then go back via the 184 route for convenience

@AymanTravelTransport 3 года назад

@@AndMoreCentral both the GM and WY tickets are valid on the full routes across the boundary, and you can buy a WY ticket in GM and vice versa on these cross-boundary routes; I've done it many times on the 184 to Huddersfield (been all the way to Leeds and back from where I live for a fiver), it just has to be off-peak! I could just buy a First GM ticket and use it on the 409 to Rochdale then a 587 all the way to Halifax; no need to waste money on two tickets, which is one of my favourite things about bus travel!

@YorksLancsTransportHub 2 года назад

A good recommendation to ride on the 587 would be 66783 as that vehicle shoots up Rochdale road.

You should review the First Buses of Somerset network sometime! They have quite a lot of different buses

Very interesting, might have to try some of there! The 84 to Huddersfield is a fab route

@YorksLancsTransportHub 3 года назад

The thing is that bus yoi can't use the FWY ticket.

@AndMoreCentral 3 года назад

Aye well let me know when you do and we could look into a collab job. You can use a First West Yorks ticket on the 184 between Huddersfield & Oldham and on the Sundays 84 all the way to Manchester

@YorksLancsTransportHub 3 года назад

You will get used to it.

@AndMoreCentral 3 года назад

Well the Burnley to Todmorden section needs a 30 min service the only reason it was reduced was due to funding

@jackeyre1263 3 года назад

so was all of that just on a FWY Day ticket or did u have to get any other tickets?

@AndMoreCentral 3 года назад

Yep all of this was done on the First West Yorkshire £5.20 ticket

@YorksLancsTransportHub 3 года назад

Like how First South Yorkshire joined First Midland buses First Greater Manchester, First York and First West Yorkshire should join together and form First Yorkshire and North East.

@AndMoreCentral 3 года назад

Well it could potentially happen though if you go back a few years ago York was part of the West Yorkshire operation
