Furious passengers slam 'despicable' First Bus after Leeds 'lifeline' service axed

Residents in Leeds have been left furious after First Bus announced more services throughout the city are to be withdrawn.

A number of new timetable changes are set to come into place from April 2, including cutting off a direct route for commuters and shoppers. Lots of residents rely on the number 9 and 9a services for commuting, this route takes people from Pudsey bus station to the White Rose Shopping Centre.

However, as of April 2, the route will be axed, alongside further changes which will see other services withdrawn and new routes for passengers. Many have taken to social media to condemn the decision, with people claiming First are not thinking about those who cannot drive.
