A very interesting article on Arriva Yorkshire and in particular on the new Gemini 2's at Selby is in issue 317 of RouteOne Magazine, available to read online now at www.route-one.net/. The article can be found on pages 32 to 34. |

Its a really good article and must have been written before they decided to put them on the 405 Selby - Leeds twice this week ,they looked really good at side of the other arriva buses in the bus station, so much for route branding!!!!!

Presumably 622 (N622KUA) which has been operating the 150's for the last 2 days. 623 was still at Belle Isle this morning. Anyone seen 621, not seen it recently unless its hiding in the paintshop ?

Has this Volvo Olympian had new seats fitted as I heard they were getting refurbed inside & out with new seats.
I heard 621 was getting this treatment at the time

Also, it mentions the new buses again on page 9 about a voluntary partnership being formed with NYCC for the service. A similar partnership exists in York for all the operators but I can't see any benefits from it.

Arriva Yorkshire and North Yorkshire County Council have announced they are working together to provide passengers with an even better bus service. www.arrivabus.co.uk/content.aspx?id=8940 |

Penfold 621 and 622 are at Selby covering for buses which are abit poorly and 623 as mentioned is at belle isle being painted. |

Just as I said I hadnt seen 621, it had emerged from the paintshop by 5am this morning so it must be 622 and 623 that are at Selby. Penfold |
