Noticed new parked Wright Eclipse 62900 in Bradford Interchange (where they usually park the school buses when not in use)

There's some significant fleet changes in Leeds over the coming weekend.
Details a bit sketchy at the moment and i'm not back at work til next Tues so my message is to be prepared for anything unusual although changes may not be evident until normal services resume on Tues.

It's last attempted journey in Leeds was on Sat 21/08 on the 14:45 ex Infirmary St to Shadwell (45) but failed with mechanical problems at the bus stop on Vicar Lane, the stop just before it turns into the Headrow.

Details a bit sketchy at the moment and i'm not back at work til next Tues so my message is to be prepared for anything unusual although changes may not be evident until normal services resume on Tues. Further to the above, more details of fleet changes this weekend are now available although I don't think this is the complete picture. Anyway, changes expected immediately are : 1) All remaining Leeds Darts will transfer to Halifax. 2) 61050/62116/62117 will move back to Leeds. 61050 to Bramley, other two to HP. 3) 37056-37059 will move to Leeds HP from Bradford. 4) All remaining Leeds Solos in First livery (53104-106) will be moving to Bradford. B7RLE's 66995-998 are said to be leaving the fleet but don't think this will be happening just yet. A start was made on Fri (27th) to change the 96 branding for the forthcoming 6 on Sunday. 37678 was done by early afternoon and was promptly despatched out of HP on a mid afternoon board starting with the 15:40 Wetherby 99 as seen on the attached pic.

It's all very nice but has anyone yet come up with a reason why they have changed it considering the expense of rebranding?! I would have expected some kind of promotion but nothing seems to be forthcoming (yet).

I've heard 37048 and 37049 are moving to Bramley from Halifax. Is this true?

A First employee informed me today that most of Leeds withdrawn Bendi-bus fleet are to be moved to various depots, including Huddersfield and Halifax for short to medium term storage, pending a descision on their long term future.

I thought Bullocks had been gobbled up by the mighty Stagecoach?.

I thought they only took over Bullock's existing bus services?

I've heard 37048 and 37049 are moving to Bramley from Halifax. Is this true? 37048-50 are supposed to be moving to Leeds but think they may be going to Hunslet Pk not Bramley. 37055-59 are on Hunslet Parks new allocation sheet but at least 2 were still in use at Bradford on Sunday! Olympians 31760-767 are moving to Bradford and the following are all now parked up out of use: 31674/676/683, 34145/234/238.

Been told tonight, one already parked up at Hudds depot. More to follow soon.

I only noted 2 at HP on Sunday and they had been moved to "withdrawn corner"
Have any moved from Cherry Row? There was plenty of space there to store them. I wonder if someone is moving in to the half where the Wrights were being stored.

Cherry Row has closed down, nothing is stored there anymore & apparantly James Fairchild is going to be storing his preserved buses there. I think Centrebus might buy it sometime soon.

Cherry row being shut completely including schools?? Surely there is not enough space for what 30 school buses between Bramley & HP. HP & Bramley are receiving(receieved) 25 vehicles and are losing 25. Wheres the space coming from? I thought that was the whole point of Cherry Row remaining open. James Fairchild being whom?

He's a bus preservationist.Sounds like a load of rumours that matty has thought up again to me.
