The bus company just confirmed they are keeping the 371 route active in Kirkheaton exactly as we demanded. I still remember how worried my elderly neighbors were about losing their only way to get into town, but now they can breathe easy again. We need to stay alert to ensure …

First in Huddersfield are planning to remove the extension of the 371 bus service to Kirkheaton as part of the May Service Changes.


We, the residents of Kirkheaton ask that they cancel the proposed change and keep the service extending to Kirkheaton.

I have been hearing from so many neighbors about how much they rely on this bus for their daily commutes and medical visits. My father uses this route every single week and I am determined to ensure he is not left stranded by these cuts.

The momentum behind this plea proves just how vital this bus route is for our neighbors who rely on it to get home. I am overwhelmed by the show of support for a service that keeps our village connected.

My son catches the 8am bus every morning and goes on to catch a further first bus to work. Remove this service and this would cost my son £30+ a week compared to £15 a week. So in result he would be calling me to collect him from Dalton and who’s paying my petrol money!!! But then again he would be 100% guaranteed a seat!!

This link to HRI is vital for the elderly and infirm with no car or nearby family to help...last time it was withdrawn it took two buses and an earlier start but I was still late for appointments ...

I live in Kirkheaton and use the service to HRI for my many hospital appointments. My son also uses the service to get to New College, he has additional needs, so not having to change buses in town is a big bonus

My daughter needs this bus to get to school! I do not want her walking alone and this is safer for her. She goes to school in her catchment and there are no school buses. She needs this bus, likewise my youngest will needs this when she moves to high school

My daughter uses this service to get from college at Netherhall to Kirkheaton. This saves her having to go into Huddersfield and then back to Kirkheaton and will be a real inconvenience if it’s removed.

The 371 is run to back up the very unreliable 262 service just ask Denby Dale residents for their views on the reliability of the tiger bus service! The 371 gives Kirkheaton residents a route to the HRI which is a necessity for the elderly.
