The initial 60 services still see a decker as that comes off the schools, obviously different in school hols, bizarrely the 1300 working from leeds till the end of service sees an airport bus. The peak time 757 also regular sees a decker. If a spare airport bus is available that goes on it instead. The decker workings are scheduled to cover the 60 until 1300 as stated (that is when the drivers would swap and the decker needs to come off for the school so that seemed the most sensible time - the replacement working isn't technically an airport branded working but since it needs a bigger vehicle and most non-deckers are branded it normally will be). That working also covers 3 trips on the 38 in the evening after it's school. Deckers are also scheduled for the various Uni services (there is 1 on the 92 between the peaks, the 94 & the Bradford Uni - 99). A decker is currently scheduled to cover the afternoon 757 extra but since this goes out just after the 92 afternoon extra bus the depot may swap these round so the decker covers the 92 & the spare single covers the 757 without affecting anything else. Good knowledge! To be fair the 94 service sees pretty much everything due to loads not quite being what was expected. The decker on the 3 38 trips tends to be changed with whatever solo was on the Asda working. The second 60 working is actually scheduled to be the bus on the additional airport peak service which comes in about 1100 ish so most times will be an airport branded bus depending on engineering requirements. One of the three 93 workings will always be a decker, more often than not 892 (double door) along with 739 and 740 both double door Scanias, although one of the double door Scanias may appear on the 92 due to a 91 working.

The 99 uni bus in Bradford uses 2 buses, I often see 2 Tridents in convoy in a morning leaving Bradford Interchange. Usually happens to be an EL one and a ALX one.
Whilst on the subject, how does the 781 fit in, is that just a bus duty on its own?

It should be - I just open up the schedule file on my computer and see what vehicle type I allocated to each working! The 94 allocation was more down to access to the site than expected capacity, it is a little restricted and the depot felt that anything longer than the deckers would struggle to get round, if experience has led them to being a little more relaxed with it then smaller (but longer) buses wouldn't be an issue.

Whilst on the subject, how does the 781 fit in, is that just a bus duty on its own? Correct, there is one all day bus and a second bus that provides a duplicate to the first two runs from Bradford in the morning before returning to the depot. The 781 covers some morning trips on the 38 before and moves on to the 92 after it works the 781.

Quick question, Is Trident 906 still with Huddersfield Bus Co? 906 is a Scania East Lancs Olympus which i think is still at Huddersfield, If your referring to their Trident 895 that’s still there as well

Of course it's a Scania, so Huddersfield still have 905 & 906 as well as Trident 895 and Olympian 803?

Has the "Y" reg ALX200 at HBC now transferred to K-Line, as it seems to have been working on K-Line routes for the past week or so?.

528 is still at K-Line, operating the Golcar Circular normally it seems. 625 is the one which has now disappeared.
Have Huddersfield Bus Company started running a new school service, as I saw 895 heading around the ring road at 2:30 on Thursday, displaying 'School Service' and going in the wrong direction to the usual Shelley/Kirkburton schools?

Removal of panels doesn't necessarily indicate accident damage has been sustained!

There appears to be no glass damage to the Scania, maybe it's just a mechanical issue. As for the Cadet, if it is staying in Huddersfield, it will probably end up at K-Line to supplement their existing Cadet fleet.

Actually an ex-Stevenage vehicle, it must have just been pausing in Leicester on the way up (a good stopping off point so drivers don't have so far to travel or drive when you think about it). The radio station in the adverts is Jack FM which broadcasts in Eastern Hertfordshire.
