The last bus out of Keighley bus station was one of the first to ever use it.

Bus drivers watched on Saturday night as the 63-year-old red double-decker KDG 26 left the 60-year-old station.

The bus brought up the rear of a procession of historic vehicles which followed the final service bus travelling to Bradford.

The station will be closed for the next nine months so a state-of-the-art new bus terminus can be built on the same site.

Buses are now setting off from stops and shelters in nearby Hanover Street, Cavendish Street and North Street.

Keighley and District Travel, which runs most local bus services, teamed up with Keighley Bus Museum Trust to stage the closing ceremony on Saturday.

Giles Fearnley, bus company chairman and trust president, and bus managing director Stuart Wilde joined forces to dispatch the final service at 11.10pm.

The KDG 26, which is owned by Keighley and District Travel, was new to the Keighley-West Yorkshire Services in 1938 and spent its entire working life on Keighley town services.

Also taking part were the privately-owned West Yorkshire Road Car single-deck bus, 1403, built in 1973, and coach 2508, built in 1967.

* Transport chiefs want to "inconvenience" as many people as possible while the new bus station is being built.

That is what it says in a glossy leaflet detailing changes to bus services during the construction project.

The misprint has been spotted by sharp-eyed Keighley News readers in the leaflet published by West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Authority.

It says: "We will try to minimise any convenience to passengers whilst the development is being carried out."

Metro has published around 50,000 copies of the leaflet, which has a map showing temporary bus stops around the town centre. It is available from shops and information centres.

A Metro spokesman says: "Our main priority was to get the leaflets out in good time. We aim for this to be the only mistake we make in the building of the new bus station."
