Fury as two Leeds bus routes set to be axed as residents say it will 'cut them off'

Plans to axe two popular bus routes in Leeds have sparked outrage amid fears it will 'cut Leeds communities' off and stop them from accessing shopping centres.

Residents in Whinmoor and Temple Newsam will sorely miss the X26 and X27 First Bus services as routes to Thorpe Park and Cross Gates. Leeds City Councillors for the wards have hit out at the bus company, asking for the decision to cut the services to be reversed.

They've said getting to these centres will now be much more difficult and have suggested it would make people's lives more costly, putting an "enormous strain on our communities".
