Won't the Presidents at Selby probably remain so their East Lancs Volvos can get withdrawn?

I remember hearing that the VDL DD's are to replace the NC Volvo Olympians at Selby. The VDL DD's are to replace the remaining step buses at Selby so come late October, early November Selby will be 100% low floor.

Ex Selby Volvo Wright Renown 102 lost its Roller blind in favour of Bri-tec LED Screen.
Pity there are some of the ALX400's still working out of Castleford with Manual Rollers. At least the Renowns had powered blinds.

Ex-Castleford Spectra 707 was working Route 117 out of Belle Isle today.
All the Route gear was working no papers in sight, which would suggest something a bit more perminant

Yes the X reg is X244 HJA and is a Full size dart and the W reg is W244 SNR which is a MPD. Looks like X244 HJA is allocated Fleet No. 230. Is this a replacement for 218? This was posted a few weeks ago

230 was working on 115 this morning W244 SNR, not sure of the letters. I understand that 174 is going or is already there in exchange for 230. Not sure if it's permanent or not Anyone seen 174 recently?

Belle Isle ALX300 479 was working out of Castleford today.
Anyone know if this is related to Castleford 707 working from Belle Isle last Saturday
For the record 443 and 450 were also at Castleford today

probably doing the L58 Wetherby High run.
It should actually have a black stripe round to symbolise that it doesn't belong to Arriva any more.

Just noticed on Dewsbury Museum site that 174 has been disposed of. Is this one that was written off a while back. Strange one was that 1061 has gone to Pool any idea why this has gone into storage?? And East Lancs Olympian 518 has now gone therefore makes Heckmondwike 100% Low floor?

I also heard that 1061 had been involved in a "Police Incident" and had certain parts removed to patch up one of those recently attacked. Although Heckmondwikes allocation will see the depot becoming the second, behind Castleford, 100% low floor. There must be a requirement to keep on borrowing buses to achieve a PVR of 53 from the 57 allocated there.

The recent fleet changes at Castleford sees 450 and 479 join from Wakefield.
The latter only in the last couple of weeks yet 443 as been there for months along with 450 and is still being shown at Wakefield, anyone know why?
