Transdev today announced it has signed an agreement to buy the West Yorkshire-based Yorkshire Tiger bus operations from Arriva UK Bus, with completion expected in the Summer.
Today’s announcement will not affect local bus services and Arriva employees are set to transition over to Transdev as part of the sale agreement.
Once complete, the sale is set to include Arriva’s two depots at Elland, near Halifax and Waterloo in Huddersfield, as well as 61 buses. The agreement will also see Arriva’s 163 drivers, engineers, cleaning and support colleagues based at these two depots join Transdev’s family of over 1,200 people at eight operating centres across the region. The sole exceptions are the 231 and 232 Huddersfield – Wakefield routes, which are planned to remain within Arriva as part of its Yorkshire business.
