Textile-theme branding aims to bring buses a cut above the competition May 12, 2025
The Weaver Network name is said to be inspired by the region's industrial past and was officially unveiled by Mayor Tracy Brabin and West Yorkshire's five council leaders in Leeds on Monday May 12.
West Yorkshire Combined Authority Transport Committee chair Clr Susan Hinchcliffe said: “The Weaver Network will reflect a public transport network that the region can be proud of, while helping the public to understand who is responsible for helping them travel to where they need to be."
The Weaver Network 'W' was unveiled in Leeds on a re-liveried green bus with textile-inspired artwork on its lower panels. The bus was rolled out just four days after the West Yorkshire Combined Authority approved the transport network name and brand identity after discussions mostly held in private session.
The West Yorkshire Combined Authority is working to create a franchised bus network, whereby the bus network and the majority of services will be authority-controlled. This will mean the Combined Authority sets routes, timetables, fares, and standards. The first franchised bus services are expected to be in operation by March 2027.
