Nice to see that Olympian back on the X84. ALX400 on the X84 and a NORMAL B9TL.
Just a quick question, at about 1PM and after all X84 departures seemed to be running upto 30 minutes behind, with the 1255 X84 to Skipton reaching Hyde Park Corner at 1330 and the 1555 to Skipton which i have come home on, leaving leeds at around 1615 but all journeys heading towards Leeds Bus Station were running grouped (3 past the L1 bus stop for the 25 minutes I was stood there). Just wondered if it is to do with Roadwork’s on the route or a recent RTA because they were working to time this morning. PS Headingley is fine (i.e. only cuing from St.Marks Church) so that is out of the picture.

Everywhere seemed busy today, Keighley & District's 662 was struggling to keep to time with Volvo B7/Wright 454 and 1849 being added just to keep the service going, and at one point there were 4 buses grouped together

There was nowt but darts on the 202/3 today, I've never seen that before. This has been reported a few times. Sundays seem to be run by Darts as Dewsbury are trying to save Fuel by running single decks. Happens every sunday. SOmetimes u get an odd Lowlander on it.

Boxing Day maybe, but Metro aren't stretching to paying for New Year's Day buses as well just yet!

Some of the short 254 journeys interwork with the 256 at Cleckheaton hence why a B7RLE cropping up is likely. Also Huddersfield depot have 66791/2 fitted with guidewheels as backups for the 363.

Spotted on the 212 tonight was a ALX 300, couldn't catch the Fleet Number. Am I right in saying this route is operated by Hecky Drivers after 7pm on a weeknight and sundays? As Dewsbury don't have any ALX 300's.

As Dewsbury don't have any ALX 300's. Heckmondwike garage does operate the 212 after 19:00 using any available bus and is linked with the 254.

Alexanader Dash/Dart 40626 was on the 50, havent seen a Dart on the 50 since the Leeds city Link days. Also saw a Pointer Dart was also on the 12. I was also disappointed to find Enviro 400 1906 "mr happy" on the 229, I thought it was a 221, in the bus bay because I wanted to get to Beeston. Instead I had to make do with a B7TL President instead. ;D
