The Leeds Bradford Airport Flyer A1 service will also run a limited timetable on Boxing Day, while Stourton PR3 is set to be the only Park and Ride service operating from Christmas Eve onwards until normal services resume across all sites on January 2.

As of December 24, the Number 9 service, which runs from the White Rose Shopping Centre to Horsforth, has been cut by current operator Yorkshire Buses, which states the service is no longer viable.

The service, which will be renamed the 10, will be relaunched on January 2 by new operator Squarepeg Buses following a funding intervention from the West Yorkshire Combined Authority.
