SIR – I wrote to this page over two years ago concerning the state of the bus service in Bradford and primarily the service that the residents of Wrose were receiving.
It seems in these interim years and primarily at this point the service provided by First Bus has become gradually worse until we arrive at the present day when we have a service that is a disgrace.
Buses not turning up, buses cancelled and some just disappearing en route. The 633 bus from Shipley to Wrose had two services cancelled out of the three on the overhead last Friday evening which is shocking.
Drivers are disillusioned, with one claiming he worked 80 hours in one week due to a driver shortage, and also stated that priority was given to the 10 minute services.
If a train doesn’t turn up passengers can claim compensation so why not the same for buses – although First would probably be bankrupt in a week!
