Royale 30816 (Holmfirth Connection livery) is at present being repainted at Hunslet Pk into normal livery. After completion it will then transfer to Bradford. (At least that's the plan, unless it changes before the paint is dry!)  |

Any fleet change plans for York. York are due some Geminis, surely I am wondering if West Yorkshire will get Gemini 2's on their next order of new buses? |

Thought First said they wouldn't be buying new buses for West Yorkshire for a while, given the amount of new buses introduced last year?

A quick question regarding the Royales transferring out of Huddersfield. How many are leaving and where are they heading? (ok that's two) I know Bradford is mentioned above, for 30816, but I've also read Halifax is gaining them.

Halifax aren't gaining any anymore so I've heard due to all of the service cuts etc. I think it will be Bradford and Leeds that get them now plus Bradford will probably get rid of the remaining L*** SEU's and Leeds will probably get rid of the L*** PWR's of which the Royale's will probably replace with them having First interior.

I have also heard that Leeds are getting some Gems complete with Branding for the Airport Shuttle 757 to be relaunched soon with Leather seats and extra Luggage space downstairs. Or is Metro paying for these? Be funny to see this in MetroConnect Livery!!!

After a few months of uncertainty during which they've been on, off, on,off, it was anounced at a staff meeting today that all bendy buses are now withdrawn.
The ex Bradford Olympians will be here for a while yet, in fact the destinations have now been fully programmed so they don't just show a route no as they have been for the past few weeks. Also, 34144/34145 have arrived at Hunslet Park to help out.
25 Volvo hybrid 'deckers are on order for the 1. Sorry you guys wanting Enviro 500's.
(I'm waiting now for the first report of a bendy sneaking out in service!)

It's very interesting, but didn't think the PVR for the 1 was 25 or does this include the new Airport buses?

The Solos at Leeds and Bradford (apart from the ones owned by metro for metroconnect,free city/town buses and the 747 Airport service) are between 8 and 11 years old. I would probably expect them to last about another 2 years |

These hybrid double decks will probably the ones that were previously announced as for the Scott Hall Road corridor, part of some sort of nationwide green bus grant.

There are 7 Arctics parked up at HP and the remainder are at Cherry Row. Not many deckers at Cherry row, just the 4 one of which was an ALX400. Still got an old Dart parked up down there and 8995 WY.

5605 will be back me thinks. It'll be parked up in the corner of HP with another Olympian, just in case.
