A West Yorkshire Metro spokesperson said: "In addition to these, we also have 139 new bus stops poles and 24 new bus shelters being installed across the Bradford district from September 2026."

West Yorkshire Metro said in a Facebook post on August 17: "Have you seen one? Or better yet... have you used one?"

What is the Weaver Network?

Weaver buses are due to start running on routes in spring 2027.

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority plans to extend the network across the region during 2027.

West Yorkshire aims to bring its bus network under public control by the end of 2028.

The scheme will replace the West Yorkshire Metro brand and create an integrated transport system.

Its name refers to textile heritage and cultural diversity.

Its website states: "It symbolises our region of diverse communities and how transport will link them together. It celebrates our shared West Yorkshire identity, connection and community."
