I have just bought the May 2013 edition of Buses Magazine. In the First West Yorkshire it stated that 60064, a Wright Floline L94 had been withdrawn after catching fire in Leeds City Centre. Well in fact it is alive and well as I was on it on Service 91 this Tuesday, a Bramley working. So everything that you read in Buses Magazine is not fact. Bear in mind there is a long lead time in the news you read in fleet news. They generally get it from the Metro Transport News, which itself is only every other month thesedays, so the vehicles probably were withdrawn but have since returned to service. Plus anyone can send news in to fleet news and as we've seen here and elsewhere, some enthusiasts believe any old rubbish without question.

61034 was in Huddersfield on X11 this morning. Is this a permanent transfer, or just a loan from Leeds?.

Chris. I thought 34209 was one that has turned up at Manchester depot with 34206 and 34104/5/10/19 at Bolton due to the collpase of Maytree Travel. 34104/210 are still to enter service as they have needed a lot of work doing to them!!

If they are going on the 301/302 Golcar circulars, they should have ordered the Max version instead.
