The West Yorkshire Combined Authority’s Bus Stop and Shelter Improvements Programme is a programme which aims to improve on-street bus waiting infrastructure across the Combined Authority area and enhance passenger experience and levels of customer satisfaction.

As part of the replacement bus shelters and poles package of this programme work will commence on the replacement of the 48 bus shelters, shown in the table and map below, from February 2025:

List of sites: Bus shelters to be replaced

These 48 bus shelters have been selected for replacement as they are regarded as being in urgent need of replacement due to known condition faults.

The photographs below provide an illustration of the type of new bus shelters which will be installed, although the exact configuration of the bus shelters will vary by bus stop:

Bus shelter replacement works normally take two days, during these works the stop may not be in use. Temporary alternative bus stops will be provided in close proximity to the bus stop in question.

Next steps

A further 152 bus shelters and 600 bus stop poles will also be replaced as part of this package and work is ongoing to identify these sites, with replacements to take place from autumn 2025 until March 2026, subject to business case approval.

    Thank you for your question. 

    All projects at the West Yorkshire Combined Authority have business cases developed for them to justify the investments and ensure they help meet the objectives of the organisation. This includes rationalising whether the benefits that will be achieved through the project are worth the cost. These business cases are approved through our Assurance process.

    Our internal teams involved in updating hardcopies of timetables at bus stops make their best efforts to keep these up to date but unfortunately this isn’t always possible, due to the volume of operator timetables that have changed and the manual process of printing and posting the timetables. 

    You can always find up-to-date information online, and our MetroLine Contact Centre is open until 8pm seven days a week, where advisors can help with timetable and journey planning enquiries.
