yes they have, since the 66/67 are now bramley operated, the crusaders transferred with them. I've also been misallocated on famous Bramley operated routes including 91/91A and the 16

If there is so many spare geminis then why the step entrance on 15/72? And they now have several ALX400 as dedicated school buses so surely they would be drafted in if there was such a shortage?
And which Royale was on the 15 as Bradford don't have any....

I presume this is the Royale mentioned earlier, this picture taken around 3.15 yesterday. www.flickr.com/photos/35759580@N03/3969969022/ |

Quite a few of these Royale's along with a Small number of Volvo Olympian Alexander RL's have been transferred within the last week.

Do the 8 and 9 interwork because if that's the case, above suggestions that a b6 be used on these routes would be a bad idea. The 8s may justify one and perhaps the 9s from Pudsey to White Rose as well, but the 9s are filled almost to capacity throughout the day on several stretches ranging between Seacroft and the White Rose. A b6 would pose a capacity headache for first.

A b6 would pose a capacity headache for first. A Scania Wright Axcess Floline/Ultralow offers a capacity of 43/40 seated. A Volvo B6BLE Wright Crusader offers a capacity of 38. Doubt it'll cause too much of a headache either way. But no, the 8 & 9 dont interwork. |

Here's the first few workings on running board 8901 as an example: Leave Bramley 0445 private to Seacroft. 0509 Seacroft BS - Pudsey 9 0625 Pudsey - Seacroft 8 0725 Seacroft BS - Pudsey 8 0845 Pudsey - Seacroft 9 1015 Seacroft BS - Pudsey 9 1145 Pudsey - Seacroft 8 1245 Seacroft BS - Pudsey 8 ............etc, etc  |

According to WYB's First Leeds Wokings the 8 & 9 dont interwork and if my eyesight was correct the B6BLE i sw the other night was laying over with 8 Seacroft BS on the desti, it left with 8 Pudsey on it. |

Oh dear, somebody dares to disagree with the running boards. I'm afraid FYB is the one that's incorrect. As I mentioned in the earlier post, they only interwork at the Pudsey end. An 8 arriving at Seacroft will leave as an 8 and a 9 arriving at Seacroft will leave as a 9. When the 8 (for example) from Seacroft arrives at Pudsey it continues as a 9 to Seacroft. It will leave Seacroft still as a 9 but when it arrives at Pudsey it will change back to an 8 and continue through Horsforth etc to Seacroft. Therefore the B6BLE on Wed which departed Seacroft on the 18:10 8 did indeed arrive as an 8. It was 16:55 from Pudsey (8). If you've got any free time catch an 8 or 9 from Seacroft and you will arrive back at Seacroft about 2hrs 20mins later and you will see what I mean. |
