Hospital Transport Service

Following a period of uncertainty, we’re delighted to be able to continue the 113 free bus service for our staff, patients and visitors.

The 113 timetable will continue from 8 October and will run in between all three sites in the exact same way as it did previously.

This is an important service which is valued by those who use it as it makes travelling to and from hospital sites convenient, reliable, and accessible. 

We’ve worked hard with the support of West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA) to secure this new contract so that we can ensure continuity to the free service.

The patient and visitor service runs seven days per week and will run each hour throughout the day. 

At weekends and Bank Holidays there is a reduced service which will run from midday until early evening, this will run each hour on an hourly basis.

An updated timetable is below.
