these vehicles look too good for scrap and too new although saying that i remember seing 6057,63 and 65 all parked up at elmwod garage in 1987 withdrawn at only 12 yrs old also but they did look ready for the scrapyard at that time but the royales look like they have loads of life in them yet.

Does anyone have an idea, of which buses have been transferred away from Cherry Row to Bramley or Hunslet Park.

30922-30928, 30941-30944 are transferring to bramley for the 42's and all of cherrys guide buses are transferring to bramley including 4 non-guides 69325-69328 It appears that all the Yellow buses, the Royales and Alexander RH Volvo Olympians have left Bramley. At 6 this evening, with only a few buses in from afternoon peak, none of the school DD's were there. Did anyone observe any of the older DD's in service today? I was on 90's this afternoon, which is not a good route to observe what is going on with other routes. An update, I had a look at the fleet allocation this morning at Bramley, and I can confirm that Bramley is now 100% low floor. There are no step entrance DD's remaining. |

Today I noted a couple of the Ex London United Alexander Olympians recently transferred to Bradford working on service 670 Bradford - Leeds and a Royale on a 613 service, it seems strange Bradford using step entrance vehicles on routes that I thought were now low floor, i'm sure they could have spared some of the schools allocated ALX 400s that are low floor for these services - especially as its the half term hols!

Maintenance for the schools fleet is being done at Bramley and Hunslet I believe. All the yellow buses are being looked after by Bramley, so I guess Hunslet are maintaining the DD's. |

66709 appears to have been transferred from Bramley to Bradford - seen yesterday on 670. After 66710 etc were moved last month, it was odd to leave the sole 53 plate B7RLE at Bramley, so this does make some sense.

I believe one or two of the RH Alexanders have been moved to Bradford also. |

Yes, 61134 is indeed parked at Cherry and it's also reverted to its original reg M78 WKX. Regarding the football, it has been agreed that there is no need for Cherry to open and any vehicle will be used. I noted 32445 amongst others on it yesterday. Whether this will still apply when Millwall next visit Leeds remains to be seen! |

I believe one or two of the RH Alexanders have been moved to Bradford also. 31818 is currently being prepared for transfer to Bradford and should be going early this week. |
