Major changes to buses in Leeds city centre as the Headrow opens to traffic in both directions
and live on Freeview channel 276
Buses will be able to return to serve the major street in both directions from Sunday.
It means that the temporary bus stops on Calverley Street, Great George Street and Merrion Street will be removed and bus services will return to bus stops on the Headrow and Albion Street.

The altered routes have been in place for more than a year.
The reopening of the road to traffic in both directions marks a milestone in Leeds City Council's £30m overhaul of the busy route.
The scheme, part of the Connecting Leeds programme, takes in the Headrow, as well as other areas such as Cookridge Street, Calverley Street and Dortmund Square.
The council claims the improvements – which include bus priority measures, safer cycleways and wider pavements – will transform the city centre’s roads into “world-class gateways”.
It is hoped the project will be completed by Spring 2021.
