CHANGES to some bus services in the Keighley area take effect from this weekend.

West Yorkshire Combined Authority says the timetable alterations are among several being introduced on routes across the county.

It advises passengers to check before travelling.

The 719 Keighley-Ingrow-Bracken Bank service, operated by Transdev, is being revised.

It will run between Keighley and Bracken Bank only.

New timings are being introduced on Transdev's 760 service, between Keighley and Leeds.

And an amended Saturday-afternoon timetable will take effect on the 616 – Bradford-Allerton-Wilsden-Harden-Bingley – operated by First.

"Other services also have revised timetables or small route changes and passengers are advised to check to see if their service is affected," said a spokesman.

First services are set to be hit next week when members of Unite stage a 48-hour walkout.

Nearly 400 drivers based in Bradford are due to strike on Monday and Tuesday.

The union says its main reason for action is the transfer of part of a service from Bradford to Halifax.
