As the 42s are now Hunslet based does this mean there'll be fleet changes i.e B7TL Geminis that were CRG based?
Also are the 55/X55s staying at HP or transferring to CRG as i've heard contrasting stories. If so does that mean some B7 RLEs will be going to CRG to cover same?

I heard that the 55's are Cherry Row now not sure about the X55 low, although while looking at the timetable the 0600 51 from Moor Allerton would run onto the 0655 X51 then onto the 0734 51 back to Moor Allerton, I'm not sure about the rest of the X55 services.

Can anyone explain why bramley eclipse gemini's 32461 and 32462 are on the 42 today. Plus i saw 30856 a cherry row ALX 400, plus 37691 B9tL gemini and an unidenifitied 370xx gemini. From what i heard the 42, is hunslet park operated now, unless these buses have transferred to Hunslet park. (exception of 37691)

I saw an UID B7TL Gemini with Green Dot Matrix blind outside HP on Friday, presumably one of the 32461/2. Will the 42 keep up its current Low Floor Status or will it now be HP's usual put anything on there attitude?

32514 to 32519 have now been transferred to Huddersfield for use on Holmfirth Connection, most of them have been repainted so presumably will be getting branded. Expect to see different buses on 503 508 & 576.

Indeed as I saw 32516 was on the 370 as well. If so many Gemini's are in Huddersfield, Are Further B7TL Gemini's from Bradford going to Halifax? or is it just dart-Swapping?

They have enough Geminis in Halifax for the 503, 508 & 576, remember there was a frequency reduction a few months ago.

The exchange of Dart/Pointers for Volvo Geminis reminds me of the advert some time since when a teenager asks if 'a sprout is the equivalent of a roast potato!'

(exception of 37691) I think 32461/2 have been transferred to HP - when the Bradford Gemini's were transferred to Bramley, I did understand they should have moved at the same time.

They are withdrawn, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are getting scrapped, they might be going elsewhere in the UK.

Probably not, they'll just have branding removed.

Having been on loan at Wells in June and then disappearing for a while Volvo B7RLE 69485, YJ09NYY is now in service in Bradford, was on the 617 yesterday and 675/7 today.
Also, this week is the first time I've actually seen 69484 and I've been looking for weeks so, unless someone else has seen it before this week, it may the first week in Bradford for this bus too.
This should complete the full set 69466 to 69485 in service.

There was a Huddersfield based Royale 30841 in the 571 today. Maybe that replaced the 5306,5312-3 NC bodied buses
