The Weaver Network will stitch the people and places of West Yorkshire together. Buses, trains, walking, wheeling, cycling and future transport modes will all knit together under one unified name and identity across all customer touchpoints, making it easier to travel across our region.
The journey has started. We’re bringing buses back under public control, with people’s needs, not profit, at the heart of our decision making. We’re also exploring future transport modes in partnership with the people of West Yorkshire. And we’re already making improvements to bus, cycle, walking and wheeling infrastructure.
The Weaver Network will be easy to use, affordable and get you where you need to go, no matter how you choose to travel.
"The Weaver Network is my promise to you to deliver a better-connected West Yorkshire. It represents my ambition for a seamless, reliable transport network under one brand, with a new name and a new look.
Transport is integral to our region’s success and the Weaver Network is at the forefront of my plans to create a region that’s prosperous, well-connected, safe, inclusive, sustainable and happy – a place where everyone can thrive."
Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire
You’ll start to see the Weaver Network branding appear across bus stops, shelters and stations in West Yorkshire. This will replace the WYMetro brand on a cost-effective repair and replace basis.
Heckmondwike will be the first bus station to open in the Weaver Network branding. We’ll launch the Weaver Network app and website, where you’ll eventually be able to buy tickets and plan your journey.
Weaver Network buses will start appearing on certain routes as we bring them under public control. We’ll expand this across the region throughout 2027. Our goal is a fully publicly controlled bus network by the end of 2028. The branding will also show up at railway stations and along walking, wheeling, and cycling routes.
Weaver Network will continue to expand, stitching together bus, train, walking, wheeling, cycling and other future transport modes.
The Weaver Network promises a better-connected West Yorkshire. It shows our goal to build a modern, reliable transport network under one brand, with a fresh name and look.
This reflects the changes already happening - bringing buses back under public control, creating a new mass transit system, and linking bus, rail, cycling, walking, and wheeling. We aim to make journeys around the region seamless.
Good transport connects people to opportunities. These include education, jobs, enjoyment, or responding to emergencies. An effective network is key to making the most of life in our region.
The Weaver Network will give everyone equal and reliable access to transport. It will take people where they need to go, when they need to be there, helping them live their best possible lives.
The look of the Weaver Network celebrates our textile heritage and the rich culture of our region. You'll find Sari prints, African wax prints, and Yorkshire tweeds, along with nods to great cultural icons like David Hockney, Barbara Hepworth, and Henry Moore.
But it’s not just about design. The Weaver Network will provide clarity, consistency, and confidence for everyone travelling in the region.
