There's one service (425/427, Wakefield-Bradford) that usually runs smoothly, is rarely more than a few minutes late, and always shows up - or at least it does if you're going towards Bradford. If you try and catch it going the other way, half the time it fails to appear at all, and you end up having to catch the next one. It usually "disappears" somewhere between Bradford city centre and the ring road.

I first found this out when I tried to take a quicker route back from work, and wound up standing in pissing cold ice and snow for well over an hour, stuck 12 miles from home in chuffing East Bierley with no shelter whatsoever. It goes without saying that I was not best pleased.

I lived in good old Wakey for four years...
And never, not once, was a bus on time. Not once. That said, I never went towards Bradford, only to Bretton...
