I have looked on the YT website, and seen a few routes that YT run on Sundays (and maybe Mon-Sat eves) only, such as route 343 and some morning journeys on route 571. In case I go to Halifax on the August Bank Holiday, I hope some Hybrid Solo SRs and refurbished Solos will work some of these routes then! There were two of the SR Solos on the 536/7 operated by Tiger the other Sunday I'm glad that some Hybrid Solo SRs do therefore work on Sundays. I realise I mixed up route 343 with 536/37 for linking Halifax with Huddersfield, sorry!

6 Plaxton Presidents due from Selby for Elland depots Calderdale school Tender wins due to start in September. The MCVs are going to Waterloo, very likely the Presidents will also be used in service 511,540 and 575 likely routes.

Not my Town Tigers from last Saturday by any chance, might be fun with the Presidents on the Halifax hills

Is it for scrap, or possibly heavy repair work, such as an engine change?

Seems like they've won: C11 Ryburn Valley High School - West Vale C15 Ryburn Valley High School - Halifax C35 Rastrick High School - Halifax (PM only and will probably interwork with C48) C39 Brooksbank School - Outlane C48 Brighouse High School - Clifton

I had a feeling it would be something like that. The presidents are a bit of a come down though, even if they get new seat covers, they've still got Urban90 seats. Some of Arriva Yorkshire's ALX400s would have been a better bet.
A few years ago customers on those routes were used to ancient Metrobuses though, so I suppose it's an improvement to that.

Trident 896 still in the red advert livery was working out of Waterloo Huddersfield this evening, does this mean an exchange with 906 going to Leeds?

That explains why I saw 906 on 60 in Shipley earlier on today If I remember correctly these two were swapped this time last year so that 906 could be used on the Dales Service
