Two bus drivers have been caught speeding on a road where a nine-year-old girl was knocked down and killed.

Community Speedwatch volunteers clocked 21 motorists driving at between 36mph and 46mph on Bradford Road, Stockbridge, near the Bridge pub, in just 40 minutes.

Included among the offenders were two bus drivers, who were speeding at 36mph -- 6mph above the speed limit.

Volunteers trapped the motorists near the spot where Casey Mason was killed when she was knocked off her bicycle in April 2004.

They caught the drivers in a 40-minute spell from 10.40-11.20am on May 26.

Insp Tony Walker, who helped to establish the pioneering programme, was not aware two buses had been caught above the speed limit.

He said if buses were caught speeding by volunteers, a letter with the date and time of the incident would go to the bus company.

He said: "If it was a Keighley & District Travel bus, it would go to the manager of K&DT.

"He would then take his own action."

Insp Walker set up Community Speedwatch, with the help of Keighley Town Council and the police, to monitor speeds and raise awareness of speeding. It was launched last November.

A spokesman for K&DT would not confirm whether the drivers were from his company. But he added no other bus company drove on Bradford Road.

He said: "If it was Joe Bloggs, it would be unfair to name them so the same applies for K&DT drivers. But I am not in any way condoning speeding."

The spokesman added a full investigation would be carried out if the company received a letter, and any action taken would be an internal matter.

Programme co-ordinator Nick Lajszczuk said: "PCSOs and community speedwatch volunteers are going out on a regular basis in Keighley at least twice a week to target areas such as Providence Lane, Oakworth Road, Stockbridge and Long Lee.

Any requests for certain areas to be targeted can be made to Keighley police or Keighley Town Council's transport committee.
