The B9TL's are the most boring buses ever, lack personality and sound like a milk float.

Thats is hell of a lots of buses moving around and a lot of drivers going out on a bus and back on a different only to go back with another bus. Or are all buses go together and a spare one to bring all the drivers back??!!

The buses being transfered will probably move on Sunday/Monday. There could be a midibus used to take the drivers back to Leeds. The withdrawn buses will probably be stored and/or used for spares recovery being be disposed of. They probably be collected by whoever bought them dealer,scrap merchant or preservationist

If 30870 is staying at Hunslet Park then shouldn't that get the updated Overall Advert.

Only just twigged to why the ALX400s receive the Rhinos livery, they are (or were rather) on the 56 and that goes past the Rhino's Stadium in Headingley!!! Hence why Wilkie222 suggest it may be on new Gemini as they are now on the 56s. Be nice to see this happen. A different bus in this livery!!

Bramley must have had a driver and bus on loan to Hunslet Park today as 30942 (I think) was on the 12s with its LED destination screen.
I see these have been formatted similarly to those at Huddersfield with the terminus larger than the via and overground line colour. However with the 49s Monkswood Gate bound, the Gate is on the bottom line and alternates between Purple Line!

The new LED screens are the same now and look better and 30942 is a permanent fixture at HP.
