what's happening the Wright B10BLA's, seen them sat outside Hunslet a few weeks ago. Are they going to another fleet or been scrapped.

These are still parked at HP, some with panels etc removed. Nobody seems to know how long they're staying.

According to latest gossip (emphasis on gossip!) it now looks as though the Leeds B10LA artics are finally going to go for scrap.
However, at least some of the B7LA batch 10038-43 are to be painted in a special student service livery and are said to be returning to the streets of Leeds very soon!

Eeeek i hope not! the B7LAs seemed quite bad at acceleration specially on hills like beeston/headingley etc! well if they do decide to scrap the B10LAs then it will be a lot of money on first's part wasted as they refurbed/repainted/repanelled at least most of them before the withdrawal!! & Anyway i seem to remember someone saying the bendys (B7LAs) got banned from bodington hall due to the speedbumps grounding 1 of the bendi's

The same student livery that lasted what? 2 years and was scrapped?
Atleast theres a chance we'll never see them again though, they might not get out of the depot!

Not sure if it will be Unilink or a new style livery, should know more by next week. Apparently the service, and i'm not even sure if it's the existing 95 will be offering students a single fare of £1 max. The B7LAs were ever so close to grounding on the speed humps on the approach to Boddington Hall in the past so that's why I'm not totally sure it will be the 95 they will now be used on.

It's expected to be April before the B7LA's return to service as they will be going away to Volvo for a refurb 'underneath'.
PVS have been to HP to quote for the removal of the entire T/V reg batch.

one bendi was towed across Leeds centre this afternoon with all the doors wide open and heading towards Eastgate. Went that quick and didnt have time to run and get a pic so managed to get a quick pic from where I was stood outside the bus station. Sorry for poor quality of the pic taken on ma phone!

Wonder where it was going since not on a red pvs lorry! But suppose looking at pvs lorries they are rather small to tow a bendy so suppose first have hired the tow firm to take it to pvs??

The three axle one in the yard last Monday looked more than capable. A bendi bus weighs what 17/18 tons unladen, I'm pretty sure any two axle tractor unit capable of dealing with 32 tons gross would find a bendi a stroll in the park. Knowing those guys I'm pretty sure they will have come across one or two engines with power to spare, I wonder where those went...................

I'm not sure the route from Hunslet Park to Barnsley would be via the city centre. Could it have just been being moved to Bramley?
