Bus services may be affected after Geldards goes into receivership
Since receiving the news on Thursday, WYCA has been in contact with other bus operators to see if they can step in to provide Geldards’ 711 service between Bradford, Pudsey and the White Rose Centre.
Alternative operators have also been found for all five schools services that Geldards ran under contract on behalf of WYCA.

WYCA has made arrangements to maintain these services from Monday although some pupils’ journeys to school may be disrupted.
A WYCA spokesperson said: “We are working hard to ensure there will be a smooth handover of services to new operators and avoid, as far as possible, inconvenience to customers.
“However we wanted to let people know what is going on if they hear rumours about services disappearing or they experience some initial disruption.”
