From 4am to midnight, 7 days a week
With more buses when you need them, travelling between Leeds and Bradford has never been easier, more affordable, or quicker.
Whether it’s the start of your workday or the end of a great night out, the 72 is available from 4am until midnight, seven days a week, with buses up to every 15 mins.
Plus, we’ve added more journeys to X6 at peak times to help get you there quicker.
More buses when you need them
We’ve added extra buses into the schedule to make travelling at the busiest times more reliable and more comfortable.
Early starts and late nights
Our buses start running around 4am, handy for those early starts, and we don’t stop until around midnight all week, so you can stay out really late.
Quicker journeys with X6
We’ve pulled out the stops and added extra buses to get you there quicker. Whizz along Stanningley Bypass and cut up to 10 mins off your journey time. They run all through the daytime, with up to 3 buses an hour.
