Is there any reason why First don't fit tree guards on ALX400's? They seem to sustain a fair bit of damage as a result. They don't seem to have any problems fitting them to Gemini's, and Stagecoach fit plenty to their ALX400's, so I don't understand why they don't do it. I don't think I've even seen a single First ALX400 with a tree guard either in Yorkshire or elsewhere

Why do First use ALX 400's? They are dire. Although I agree, why not? Even the new resprayed vehicles are left be bashed to bits by the trees. They use them on the 342 Almondbury Circular route a lot, which has a fair amount of tree action up Fenay Lane.
The Gemini's are far better and probably more expensive than the ALX 400's anyway, so why ruin em? They are a bit low rent lets be honest, the old ALX's. All the Huddersfield ones were cascaded down from Leeds when they got shed load of new buses, I assume so anyway, all of a sudden we had loads of em.
