Following on from this evening a follow-up meeting was arranged and you were all welcome to attend.
The meeting was arranged for Monday 21st February 2011 commencing at 7.30 p.m. prompt in Finningley Village Hall.
The meeting was scheduled to allow for any changes that First decide to take both now and in January to take effect and asked you to keep a record of your findings from 1st January onwards. There were forms to record your observations available from Bridget and Alan at the Post Office or you could download a form by clicking on the image below. (It will open in a separate window).
The following updates have been received since the first meeting.

31st August and 1st October 1330-1500 from Frenchgate failed to arrive and there was no communication available to Frenchgate as phones just rang out. - I have fed this back to Operations as the Inspectors should be updating the Interchange Staff when journeys fail to operate
I dont know if you will be able to pass these on to the relevant person but at least if anyone approaches you the details are to hand.
