They are a very smooth ride and don't sound too bad either. Seem to be quite quick off the mark. A great replacement for the ALX300's.

Saw route-branded 1479 on 281 myself. Looked very smart and shiny. Couldn't help but think in a month or two they'll probably be covered in salty grime from the winter roads.

1482 & 1484 also branded. No branding on 1487.

Could some of our members let us know their comments about these new buses please. The rear cab bulkhead needs securing better. 1450-1453 had the same problem but nothing seems to have been sorted out, Still the squeaking / plastic rubbing on plastic noise heard whilst sat in the cab. Also who's idea was it to replace cloth with plastic (ooops sorry imitation leather) seats in the cab ?. Other than that, miles better than the ALX300's they replaced. Hopefully the ECO system will soon settle itself down too ! Hopefully ANE will appreciate some of the ALX300's when they get them from BI/HE/DE. Penfold

That's the mistake on the list. 1456 is on loan for BDOY this weekend, and then should be returning to Belle Isle. Looks like 1456 allocation to Heckmondwike wasn't mistake after all it's still working from there, on the 220-2 group of services today Its believed to be returning to BI in December after the end of 6 month contract at HE.

The new single decks at Dewsbury have an additional advert on the near side saying "I'm just 1 of 83 new buses delivered in 2012". As can be seen on the 281-3 branded ones

Looks like the new Pulsars @ Cas, 1471-8 have shoved out the Commanders 1410-5. Haven't seen any of 'em for over a week now. Only Commander i've seen today while i've been out in Ponte is Belle Isle's 'O4 plate 499.

As a number of Dewsbury's allocation of 17 is now branded for the 281-3 routes, how many buses are actually required for these routes?

No one picked up on this but what's the latest on the hybrids front? Last we heard was that arriva won the latest round of the green bus grant where hybrid geminis were due for castleford. Not heard any more since like when there are due to come.
