Reinstate the X84 Otley to Leeds First Bus Service


Reinstate the X84 Otley to Leeds First Bus Service
The Issue
This petition is to call for the First Bus Group reinstate the vital X84 bus return service from Leeds City Centre to Otley along with the return service.
This was an important, limited stop service and people, especially in Leeds North West particularly those who reside in the Leeds City Council Wards of Adel & Wharfedale and Otley & Yeadon and they have been severely affected due to the loss of this bus link.
The X84 was essential to people in the above areas and beyond who need to easily access work, home and the city centre on an evening, its removal has been highly detrimental. We need it reinstated
Many people travelled to Otley on this service, as opposed to driving, to shop and access the town's cafe's. Since it has stopped some have stated that their visits to the town have become infrequent. Others are unable to get to work on time due to the removal of the service and spend considerably longer getting home as other services, which are not run on a limited stop system, are full.
Not only does the removal of the X84 stop visitors going to Otley as frequently due to other services being full, which has a knock-on economic effect to the town, but its residents needs are being disregarded.
The First Bus Group need to respond to its customers and provide a reliable, regular, limited stop service to the above areas and reinstate the X84 without delay.
