Lyles of Batley, have added a brand new Optare Metrocity to the Longstaff fleet in a new livery of a darker blue cool. So thats 5 service buses (2 Volvo Eclipses, 1 Optare Excel 2, 1 Optare Tempo and now 1 Metrocity). They've also still got the black 59 plate triaxle Vanhool on hire to as it did the AL2 school run last Friday Morning. Do you know the reg of the 59 plate Van Hool please? |

The Metrocity has a registration number of YJ16DFF. Saw it this morning in the depot but it was parked front end in behind a coach. From the tool boxes on the entrance step it is still being prepared for service and it did not display a operators disc. Also I did not see a coach other than those in the gold livery

Even the 06:50 trip on a morning has a decent load. |

The service is much lighter loaded that years gone by when double decker Atlantean and Metrobus were filled. Partly due to 202 running at similar times but mostly due to increased car ownership and the decline of Dewsbury as a shopping centre.
I've said it before, but they really are missing a trick by not serving the rail station and markets i.e. doing a loop round Dewsbury so Mirfield, Dewsbury rail stn, markets, Dewsbury bus station, Mirfield.
Good to see them still going and investing in their fleet.

One of the Admin team: Can this be merged under the A Lyles thread since Longstaff is owned by Lyles and has been for the last 10 years.
