A NUMBER of bus service changes affecting Bradford are to be implemented this weekend.

On Sunday, September 1, eight services will see timetable and/or route changes.

The adjustments are spread across buses run by First, Yorkshire Tiger and TLC.

Three of the services - the 72, X6 and X11 - are impacted due to the eastbound closure of The Headrow in Leeds for improvement works.

All three will not run into or out of Leeds City Bus Station, with the X11 not running via the Headrow either.

Heading into Leeds, the 72 and X6 will run from Westgate via the Leeds Loop, onto Calverley Street, Great George Street and then will terminate at Merrion Street.

Towards Bradford, it will start from Merrion Street, run via New Briggate, Vicar Lane and join its normal route on The Headrow.

Heading into Leeds, the X11 - which serves Bradford Moor and Pudsey - will run Wellington Street, King Street and will terminate at Leeds Infirmary Street.

Then, on the way back, the service will start at Leeds Infirmary Street and run via City Square and Wellington Street, then as normal.

The other services - 571, 576, 656, 660, and 676 - will all have a revised timetable introduced.

On Monday, September 2, both the 425 and 427 Arriva services will have their Monday to Saturday timetables changed to improve punctuality.
