The eclipses, 09 plate enviro 200s(1066 now the exception), presidents and spectras haven't been retrimmed though (only a handful of spectras were done but need doing again). All the Low Floor Spectras (700-723) have been re-trimmed at least once however the now withdrawn older Step entrance ones (624-641) were not re-trimmed. You have omitted the Castleford based Tempos from your list on ones which still have their original green/blue seating ala the Dewsbury/Wakefield enviros 1050-1065 etc . New I forgot a section. 57 & 58 finally got done in 2014 but when did AY buy them as I've been told by a few contacts at dewsbury these 2 are on lease and were due to be going back to ARRIVA B&C as they have more problems than any other bus and cost a fortune.

I would not have though 57/58 are on lease because they were originally new to Aztecbird in Leeds and then Arriva bought them after that company went out of business, also with them both being 14 years old now it would be unusual if they were still on some sort of lease agreement.

They were bought off ABC after they were returned when Aztechbird/Pegasus folded in the early 00's.

I'm sure these 2 buses were supposed to be returned to arriva bus and coach in birstall last November , but they extended the hire of these as the buses are still required at dewsbury

1402 & 1413 haven't been refurbed yet & the Presidents are still the same as they were when they left Hecky. 1413 had its seats retrimmed when it was a dewsbury when it was last on loan alongside 1412 & 1451. The eclipses, 09 plate enviro 200s(1066 now the exception), presidents and spectras haven't been retrimmed though (only a handful of spectras were done but need doing again). 1413 has defo not been retrimmed, I've just checked it now on a 189 just leaving Wakefield bus station.

A couple of the heckmondwike 06 lowlanders have new seat covers, the eclipses mostly have been repainted and for some reason don't have any " arriva " decals on the front! I would also like to see these maximised !!! I think these Lowlanders might only have received new seating as the old seating was so worn down, rather than as a refurbishment as such. As the Eclipses seem to be used mainly on infrequent routes I doubt they will be upgraded to MAX spec somehow.

E200 1065 now returned & in MAX base livery with no branding like 1066. its also rumoured that 1061-1063 are getting a refurb before heading back to dewsbury (if there's any truth in it). Then that will leave 708/713/1103/1104/1106/1109/1110/1112 and the remaining commanders to get fully repainted and refurbed.

I spotted a rumour on another Arriva thread here that 1100-12 could be refurbished. Good news, especially if these are to MAX standard!

The only way 1100-1112 would be MAXed is if they were gunna be done for the 221 (like the geminis for 229) but even thats unlikely as 221 interacts with 220 and 222.

There'd be no way that 1100 - 1112 would be MAXed, as they appear on all routes operated by Heckmondwike depot, including the 229 & 268/A MAXed routes. Some of these rumours are started by 'enthusiasts', assuming that they know better, than the people, who actually work at any of the operators. Yes, I used to work at Heckmondwike depot, but, I wouldn't put out 'false' rumours, and if I do give out false information, I, apologise straight away.

Hope these have a better brand name than 1001-1031. Believe the plan is now to concentrate the short E200s at Belle Isle/Castleford, and the long ones at Dewsbury.

Too true, I also saw 1052 still in the old Interurban Livery, it was a distance away over the pits and the Y at the end of the registration looked like an X, I blame Spec Savers..................

I am reliably informed that a refurbishment program has commenced on the Commanders at Belle Isle. 1400 is currently away and 1401 was ready to depart earlier today. Not sure of what type of refurbishment it will be and the location where they are being done is currently unknown.
