Over the next few weeks all of the Leeds based B9TLs will be returning to Volvo for modification to the transmission.
To cover whilst the vehicles are away Volvo have loaned an Alexander ALX400 B7TL registered V143 LGH which I think started life with London General (or Central). It has been allocated f/n 32000 and is all white but with the addition of First logos etc. It's currently at Hunslet Park and I don't think it's been out yet but expect it on the streets any day now.

Thank you for that. Will this go to Bradford assuming they may need similar treatment? |

Do you know what they are doing to the Transmission, will it be any different sound & performance wise when they return? |

I believe Leeds are the first to use it though and I suspect it will be here for a number of weeks. |

It has to have a fleet number. How else would fuel be monitored?
