Arriva apologises after Leeds bus is caught driving wrong way through city centre

Arriva has apologised after one of its Leeds buses was spotted driving on the wrong side of the road through the city centre after major road changes began.

The 229 was caught driving in the wrong lane on King Street which used to be a one-way, two lane street - but it has now become a two-way street, as of yesterday (January 9). This is part of a huge overhaul around City Square to make the centre more 'people first', a Leeds City Council scheme to reduce traffic in the area.

A spokesman for Arriva said: "There have been some changes to the road layout in Leeds City Centre due to the closure of City Square. Some roads, such as King Street and Thirsk Row, have changed from one-way running to two-way running.
