Arriva (Shrewsbury) 64/164 Shrewsbury to Hanley
From Shrewsbury Shows 64 Market Drayton (with connections to Hanley) (words to effect). At Market Drayton changes to 164 Hanley

Not anymore. Blinds were changed a few months ago, and there’s now no indication that the bus continues to Hanley/Shrewsbury.

Transdev (certainly in Keighley, anyway) used to use 'via', but some services didn't have an '&' between points, so the 2 line display would be something like:

760 Keighley
via Rodley, Calverley, Shipley

whereas they now use 'then':

62 Otley & Ilkley
then Leeds Bradford (plane logo)

maybe your example is because no-one in their right mind would do Kly - Airport on the 62. I would get the 760 to Greengates then A2 Bradford - Harrogate bus to the airport. or even change at Shipley onto an A3

Typically it takes 88 minutes on the 62 all the way.

The 60 typically just misses the A2 at Greengates so would typically take 85 minutes.
Going via Shipley you can do the trip in an hour.

Of course, for anyone starting between Steeton and Ilkley you'd probably be quicker on the 62 so the current description would be perfect.

Saw a good one in Newcastle this week which combined the two. ‘685 - Hexham for Brampton and then Carlisle’. :D

It was in Stagecoach’s new “special bus” livery (below - not my photo).

The picture is of Stagecoach's previous standard livery, with route branding for the 685 service.

Blazefield 67 (WYRCC 57) runs Keighley - Denholme - Bradford, so it would have shown Keighley via Cullingworth, Bradford via Thornton etc. but now shows Denholme then Keighley etc to distinguish it from the direct route the Shuttle via Bingley.

First 613 shows Buttershaw via Woodside though it does continue beyond the terminus and more direct routes are available.
