I think X569YUG could be in for repainting now, there is a B10 in the paintshop and I haven't seen this bus in the last week or so. Regarding the mybus B10's, I have also seen 531, 542, 543, 544 and 1041, and I think there is 530, 1001 and 1004 too. A press release on Metro's website stated 10 buses were in use, this would give 12 in total, including the two in Urban Cool livery.

X569 XUG is the only one that seems to break down so maybe gettin repaired? or like you said getting repainted. I have only actually seen 540 out and about , It be weird seeing 1004 in mybus liverly due to the big numbers instead of the electronic numbers on the other b10s.

I haven't seen 569 broken down before? 1001 and 1041 are the same in having roller blind for the numbers. The route numbers begin with 'I' as the services go to Ilkley, but these display 1 instead

569 has broken down at least twice, once in the bus station i remember the engineers had a big problem, because it broke down in the bay while on the 717 about two years ago. and ive seen it with its hazards on just outside bingley too, also it never seems to be out that often

It is the B10 I see the least of, so I wiudn't be surprised if it was the most unreliable bus in Keighley, as generally they have a reliable fleet.

Yes they do. Do you know why they only use 575,577,576,573 and 572 on the 500? and sometimes 563? And W617/8 CWX for the 760? Is it just how there are allocated?

Only certain buses have 'Hebden Bridge' on the blinds

It seems strange not all buses have Hebden Bridge on the blinds, as surely they would all be supplied at the same time?

It would have been a waste of money to replace the blinds of every bus in the fleet when the 500 was taken over, so only a few were purchased.

But k&d used to run the service every morning at 9.30am before the takeover?, so why not have them on from the beginning?.

Just seen an Arriva Olympus (110 Branded) on back of a tow truck being towed to either Heckmondwike or Dewsbury Depot. This went along Geldard Road in Birstall. This is a bit way out from Belle Isle.

Well the bus will still be under manufacturer warranty so could have been heading for Cross Roads Bus & Truck?

I know its not a misallocation, but Keighley & District Volvo B10B 569 was in service today, repainted on the 760. Only 572 left to paint, this was in service too, on the 500

Yeah you could tell which bus it was from a distance by looking at the bumper! Volvo B7 454 was on the 662 today, I was on it.

This Bus had broken down in Leeds Bus Station yesterday and was being recovered so assuming will be off to Cross Roads as Jack says.
