UID First Huddersfield Alexander Alx400 heading into Wakefield thought Horbury not in service today at 11:30 then seen heading back to Huddersfield about 12:10 anyone know what it was doing? could be Route learning or type testing since any First decker could be hitting trees which Arriva low height deckers in particular and the odd Centrebus could be missing.

69419, a single deck Leeds Volvo was on the 5 service today heading towards Halton Moor - not a mis-allocation as such but I saw it use the guided bus lane between York Road Iceland and Shaftsbury at 4.53pm.
This bus did NOT have any guidewheels fitted nor does the 5 route use the guideway! This is the first time I've seen a non-guidewhell bus use the guideway!
The driver kept steering it by hand ( I do know that this is possible in other vehicles that fit within the dimensions of the track to drive down the guideway!). The driver had to wait in for a clear road before leaving the guideway at the Shaftsbury junction to turn right to Osmondthorpe Lane across the normal traffic right turn lane and thus blocking other buses behind it on routes that normally use the guideway.

That Happened to me once back in 2009, on the way to Party in the park, Temple Newsam on the special services X26, the driver drove a Non guided wheel Eclipse Gemini (Was a 49 Branded one at the time) on York Road Guided Busway. Clever idea to avoid traffic, ;D. The driver was steering it in a similar fashion to your description, but had to drive slow as well.

Saw one of the 36 H&D Gemini's driving up The Headrow on wednesday with 'BUS REVERSING' on desti
Surely that's a misallocation, I thought it was just First that ran a service there?
