I live in one of the villages along the route and it does have a confusing history I agree. It's a useful service for me since there are no other direct routes from Farsley to White Rose and vice versa.
I wasn't able to find anything on the number 8, but I was only able to go back twenty years or so. And trust me, in recent years, it was... plenty complicated.
Gah smeg, you're right. Fortunately it looks like it shares that part of its route with the 22, so I can get away without specifically riding the 9A. Narrow escape, that!
I think we need to have a word with the person that came up with the terms "Clockwise" and "Counter-Clockwise". You couldn't find a word with a different letter to use? How do I know if the 9C is the clockwise service or the counter service?
Not really an issue here in the UK, as we don't say "counter-clockwise", we say "anticlockwise". Except they couldn't go with 9A (anticlockwise) and 9C (clockwise) because 9A is already taken by the vestigial part-route early-morning/late-evening/Sunday service, so we ended up with 9 and 9C. But give it a week, they might fiddle with the numbers again.

This route has gone through many changes. When I first knew it, it was the #8 and the number #9. One went clockwise and the other anti-.

There is a slight difference in route for the 9A, it doesn't serve Garforth.
