Seen working a 127 Wakefield to Dewsbury this evening was AY 260 (SN55HTX). Is this just a loan or has it been transferred ?

It would have been a Dewsbury working as it is currently operating the 213.
Would this mean that the other 2 could follow to send 3 East Lancs over to Selby, instead of Heckmondwike gaining 3 Alexander ALX200 which was mentioned on the bus movements thread?

Would make sense to scrap as they got rid of the striders with k,l and m reg and p is the next reg. Only time will tell......

I heard that all the ALX200's are geting scrapped. I did too but not for a couple of years yet ..and I heard the ALX300's were going first. Amazing the rumours going around. Penfold |

I understand that 260 was only sent to Dewsbury to have an Electrical problem rectified. It was not being transfered and was not expected to be used in Service!

Heard from a young enthusiast that Arriva Cymru is expecting a cascade of ALX200/300s before the end of the year. Its possible they might be ours from Yorkshire. The Merseyside Dennis Dart website is a good source of info for matters regarding Arriva in North Wales. I would think there is more substance in the rumours about them getting transferred, rather than being scrapped, then again you never know!. |

It was in Dewsbury bus station this morning parked up, however you could be right as its still promoting the Selby day tickets which are £5 |

Seems a long way to send a vehicle just for an electrical problem to be solved. Take it Selby haven't got an electrician ? Added to that its already been used in service a few times ! Penfold |

I would think there is more substance in the rumours about them getting transferred, rather than being scrapped, then again you never know!. Seems unlikely Arriva Cymru has just received a large number of ex-London Darts to improve the fleet. With new buses expected late this year, almost all the Arriva Buses Wales fleet will be newer than our ALX200s & 300s. Doubtful they would want ALX300s as all their big buses are already much newer than R reg. |

Whether Darts improve any fleet is debatable, however i take your point about the recent influx there. Unfortunately Llandudno and Rhyl depots have lost newer Pulsars to accomodate these ex-London buses which are in the main MPDs. Links from the aforementioned website take you to a forum which suggests Rhyl depot could be the receipients of up to nine new VDL/Gemini2s,.However back on topic, I still would be surprised if the ALX200/300s end up scrapped as opposed to being transferred elsewhere within the group.

I wonder if all these Pulsars etc. that are in Malta from Merseyside will end up staying there and Merseyside get some of our ALX300's to replace them.

The Pulsars are only out in Malta to cover until there are enough of the acquired buses repainted to enable them (and the Derby Solo SRs) to return home. Also, the Cyrmu rumour (ALX200/300) is extermely unlikely. The recent cascade of MPDs from London has replaced the remaining full-sized Dart SLFs back to North West. The Decker rumour could be ture. The NW&W order calls for 53 Deckers and 44 of them are going to Liverpool Speke depot, and those 9 aren't destined for a Merseyside area depot. |

It is confirmed that the 11 is receiving new double decks. It isn't confirmed though if it is those 9 from the current Merseyside order or 9 from a seperate order.
