Summary

West Yorkshire has made two substantial commitments to its bus network. On November 2, FirstGroup announced a £109 million agreement with the West Yorkshire Combined Authority covering five depots, associated infrastructure and 330 buses, including 79 battery-electric vehicles. The authority is also spending £120 million on more than 250 new buses through a separate programme. These investments will help establish the region’s new franchised Weaver Network, but many of the assets being acquired will remain in use long after the first operating contracts have ended.
