Shoppers to benefits from new bus route
Starting in February, The 214 will travel between Birstall Retail Park and the White Rose Shopping Centre.
The new service, which will run between 9am and 4pm on an hourly basis, is supported by West Yorkshire Combined Authority and has been welcomed by Coun Neil Dawson who has campaigned for the new route.

is great news.
“It is an issue that has been raised many times by residents at my surgeries, and I am pleased that my campaigning on their behalf has been successful. Both these shopping centres should be available to everyone, not just people who have cars.
“Public transport is also a big environmental benefit for everyone.”
The 214 will travel from Birstall Retail Park to Morley town centre and onto the White Rose Centre.
