Fleet upgrades are starting on the Enviro200's at the start of next year, all the 12 plate Enviro's will be getting replaced with new ones one by one. A spare vehicle will be drafted in (possibly a StreetLite) until they all arrive

2 new Enviro's arrived this morning, they are YY64 TXU & YY64 TXV. They should be getting new ones at the rate of 2 a month. I was lucky enough to drive one after they arrived & they are completely rattle free.

Speaking of TLC, I was on the 846 the other night and a passenger asked the First Bradford driver about the route being cancelled, the driver told him that he had heard TLC were taking over at the end of March. Have you heard anything about this, I thought TLC were close to capacity at their depot's so would think an extra six bus PVR would be a problem, unless of course what the passenger was referring to was a reduction in frequency, maybe to hourly with the cancellation of either the 846 or 847. These routes would fit in nicely with TLC's existing Shipley locals but I have seen no mention of it before.
Any truth at all in this?

I think TXU came out part way through the day as a changeover for MX54 KYK.

Seem's odd if true,i actully always thought the bradford - shipley part of the route was commercial because it can get standing loads on some trips,also seems abit pointless first moving newer solos to bradford for dda and repaint them just for them to lose the final route that needs solos a few month later.

I thought about this from the other way in that it could explain why they brought only slightly newer Solo's from Doncaster to cover until they had made a decision whether or not to move away from minibus operation in Bradford. Still as I said this is only what one driver told a passenger who thought the route was to be withdrawn hence my question.

I'm not sure about the 846 route but I will ask at some point. I did hear about that they are on the lookout for a bigger depot though. & There will be 12 new buses coming.

Ah 12 buses, thank you for letting me know. I shall keep tabs on them being reported, so that I can time my visit for once most or all are here. I may come sooner if I have enough other stuff to ride then.

E200s now here are YY64 TXU, YY64 TXV, YY64 YKJ & YY64 YKK. More on the way but likely to be 15 reg.
4 of the MX12s should have departed by now.

Besides the Solo SRs, they usually have an older Solo based at Todmorden depot? Is it usually the same one or does it swap frequently?

Our permanent spare is MX57 UPM which is sat in the corner all the time, sometimes when there is 2 63 plates off the road we will get another small solo, mainly YD63 UZG, YJ62 FPT, MX56 NLL or MX09 MJF

I assume all of the new E200's have arrived by now in which case I am missing one.
I have noted 13972, 13981, 13982, 13983, 13986, 14685, 14782, 14783, 14853, 14854 & 14856. Is there a 14855 or which one am I missing?

Been informed TLC have won a 7 bus tender in Huddersfield, there will be a new depot opening in Huddersfield for the services & new buses will be getting ordered. This is due to start at the end of October. I'm not sure exactly what route numbers but it is apparently Golcar & Almondbury and some others
