Because very few passengers are travelling the full route? People are catching them from their respective sides of the city to get in and out of the city centre. Saying these services don't need to stop in the city centre is like suggesting the X21 doesn't bother with Durham and Chester Le street.

I think you misread that. I meant them stopping at a bus station near Pilgrim Street basically around Worswick Street or Stack to serve the city centre then going around it rather than through the centre.

Meant the centre as the following:
Market Street
Blackett Street
Clayton Street
Grainger Street
Newgate Street

There's way too many buses on all of them and it's where the public are rather than down Mosley Street or Percy Street where there's fewer people around so the pollution isn't as harmful.

Apart from Woodhouse (think it's the name) there's no buses anywhere near the centre in Leeds where people are and it's the same in most cities.
