Volvo B7TL on the 28 today. Also why was do first do stupid things. The 0955 X84 to Skipton was a Single Decker. They should know that because of they nice day it will get used by Day Trippers to Skipton. It was crammed with standees at Salvos Restaurant. Stupid. Do you ever stop moaning about the X84? It's very tiresome.

Am not moaning. I am simply saying why dont first ever use common sense. When a bus is in need of a Double Decker they put a single decker on it, when it doesn't need a double decker they put on a double. This could apply to any other service such as the X6, why put a B7RLE (which was stated in the Incorrect Allocations thread) on at Peak Times when you no full well it will be packed to the front door. Same goes for the 508, at peak times they have put in the past a Dart on, instead of a decker. Others like this include 28, 97,33/33A,757,50/50A,4, 16 and the 95 is a good one for this example.

It could be to do with breakdowns or disruption to services. This happened recently in Keighley where the Oakworth service is usually worked by either Volvo B7/B10 single decks. However because of disruption to the 662, a B7 was taken off the Oakworth and wass replaced by a 29seat Dart. Not ideal in the afternoons and the bus was full and standing on oth occasions I saw it. Not ideal, but at least the bus ran!

a couple of B7TL ALX400s were on the 33 though given the recent transfer of Royales to Halifax this may not be a misallocation. 31811 was on the 16

There was a 254/255 branded bus on 253 yesterday. Have Hecky taken over this Sunday service?

Two Leyland Olympians (ex-Bristol) were on the 636 and 640 EDIT TODAY - 66777 was on the 570 with green line branding (I thought Halifax were removing branding or is it only the B7TLs that get that treatment) and 60819 was on the 508

The branding for the 508 has been removed from Geminis 32511-32515 since about last autum as for the Green Line First as I understand have reduce the doubledeck requirement on the service which is why the Geminis 32537, 32541 and 32542 has their removed

Enviro 400 1913 was on the 221, seen it go down Dewsbury Road. Wish First Could Order Enviro 400's they'd make a change from B9TL/wright Eclipses.

Not only that they would be an ideal replacement for the ALX400 and Volvo Olympians. Perfect routes for these would be 95, 33/33A, 28(2 Single and 2 Double), 97, 16 Dual Doored and 40/40A.
A Red/Blue line B9TL on the 28. This operated the 28 Leeds Universty to Clarence Dock route. Parked up where Arriva operated there services to Wakefiled from.

Again I've seen 1913 operating on the 221, 2 days in a row. Same bus, same Route. 1913 and 1906 are the two Enviro 400 which are not badged for route 268 therefore when all 12 badged ones are available for service these two in particular will stray onto other routes

I'm not sure whether this relevant to why there was an Enviro 400 on the 221 yesterday but the 8:05 journey through Morley to Leeds which I caught was a Plaxton Preisdent and an alarm was sounding, as I got off I noticed the Petrol sign was red so I would of thought it was low on feul
