I thought I would start a new thread as the previous one is now getting a tad long. Route One magazine's last edition has a two page spread on the recent vehicle launch at Temple Newsam, it looks like the recent delivery are not the only new buses due at Arriva Yorkshire this year. A further 40 Wright Pulsar SDs are due in August this year. www.route-one.net/e-books/currentIssue/index.html#/4/ |

Will be interesting to see what the 40 Pulsars replace.
ALX300's ;D MPD's ? s/e Spectras ?
Would seem silly getting 83 new vehicles in a year and not get rid of the step entrance Spectras? Surely the fleet will go all low floor?
NB - Not that I'm saying I want the Spectras to go!!

No the step entrance Spectras are staying a few more years yet. Not all about Step entrance though, its about DDA compiant buses and there is a lot of buses that arent DDA compiant e.g. ALX300's, MPD's.

It'll obviously be the ALX300s they replace. They aren't going to replace MPDs with full sized buses!

Maybe, They'll keep the ALX300's and ditch the Step-Spectra's thus giving them a 100% low-floor fleet?. Or Maybe they'll keep the ALX200's and Step-Ikarus's till these new Pulsar's arrive. I would have thought with the recent influx of the Gemini "Stunted" decker's they now have enough deckers for any board that requires them, Thus, making the keeping of step decker's the least favourable option.

I think the spectra's are due to go anytime now with the influx of Geminis. |

Nice to have more new buses but hope it doesn't become too much like First with all the Wright bodied buses! Some Scania Omnilinks would have been nice for Arriva Yorkshire, or some Mercedes Benz Citaros.

Perhaps the Lowlanders will go to Selby eventually, with some of the new Pulsars to Heckmondwike? At present Heckmondwike seems to have a lot of double decks. |

I liked the comment on Facebook that said it seems like route 278 is where buses go to die ;D |

Will 1548 be a 12 plate bus, or will it retain it's booked YJ61 OBY plate?
