You've traded in Solos for BMCs then!
CT Plus is an operator where I remember it was assumed when they moved into WY they would enter the bidding for tendered services. Of course besides their schools and AccessBus work, they have never done so.

If they did, they would have to get another depot because it is tight getting all the BMC's in at evening. Lovely buses to drive them Condors though & work is nice & steady... wise move.

CT Plus Leeds 2 Accessbus Mercedes Benz Sprinters PN06FJF & MV06AFA are being sold at auction. Does anybody know what has replaced them? Possibly Solos from Calderdale.

Saw said Dart in Profleet just off Wood Lane, Rothwell earlier on this month. Possibly getting an MOT done?

Seems like DTB is of old instead youthful as it is at present but I think it's more to do with the fact they have the 543 SJF as well as DTB. So far I've seen the Streetlite on 543 and DTB. Not seen the e200 on 543 though. Plus the drivers are stricter than the Star Travel and Tates drivers as well. If running to the same timetable as Tates, then the 543 "should" be interworked with the FTB.

School services are not shown in changing time leaflets.
But yes the 543 comes with the DFTB , hence why it runs to a reduced frequency during the afternoon.

I have just noticed BMC school bus BC050 YN08JDF in Wakefield in the new green & yellow livery. This is a Condor 225 and is not included in the upgrade & repaint scheme being done on the Condor 220s so I wonder if they are now repainting all the BMC Condors in this new livery now?

CT Plus Wakefield have started operating some journeys on the 183 Wakefield to Pontefract today using some of the ex Hull Park and Ride BMC Condors, noticed FJ59 UYK doing the 7:55 journey this morning. www.flickr.com/photos/x212-hhe/19676135929/

CT Plus have moved depot, they are now a few minutes away in Holbeck on Water Lane.
The new site is much larger than the previous Geldard Road site, presumably this means they won't need to park buses at various other locations in Leeds anymore and they will be able to all fit in the main depot.
Also they have acquired 5 Dennis Trident/Plaxton Presidents from Metroline. All painted in overall yellow livery. This is the company's first double decks in West Yorkshire.
Registrations are LK03NKU LK03NKS LK03NKG LK03NLC LK03NLA

Dennis Trident/Plaxton President LK03NKS is now at Wakefield and is the dedicated vehicle for the 183 service, first duty was yesterday afternoon. Saw it on its last duty at twenty past five in Normanton heading for Wakefield an all over yellow.

I think Leeds are running the 183 now unless Wakefield have gained some decker work because the 2 white Condors are in Leeds depot & there is a lot of deckers at Leeds.
