Have read elsewhere that the orange painted Metrodecker due for Yorkshire Tiger is now about to enter service at Reading. Something to do with An ex transport manager now being at Reading Martjn was up at Opt are the other week to discuss future needs, I imagine the divert was to try secure an order asap

Might sound a bit of a random question but does anyone know the current status of Scania 740? I see 739 almost daily but can genuinely say 740 hasn't been seen by me since the early part of this year. It's not only 740, 769 looked rather sad at the depot during the summer and 786 appears to be conspicuous by it's absence too. At Huddersfield 782 didn't look too healthy in the summer months either Flying Tiger Scania 786 was out on the Bradford - LBIA - Harrogate service today but still signs of 740, 769 or 782 in the last few month, unless anyones seen them recently

Tiger Waterloo were using Arriva NE 4154 V154 DFT Volvo Renown in full Arriva Livery on 231/2 today.
Some passengers sorry customers couldn't read a 231 Route Number on A4 paper right in the middle of the nearside screen. For some reason the destination screen was only showing Yorkshire Tiger in bright Orange Letters.

Don't know if it's same one, but, there was one earlier on today, with desti programmed and showing 80 Denby Dale, with upside down piece of A4 paper at bottom of windscreen showing 23*

I believe this is 4514 V514DFT, V154DFT is a Stagecoach Dennis Trident.

Have they still got white centro YJ58FFL at Huddersfield or YJ59AYX at Leeds? Or have the Arriva cadets replaced these?

Must be a paper exercise so far at least, as they all still carry Arriva fleet numbers today.
Have Leeds still got the two MCV's as they've been absent recently, although they may have just been hiding.

I heard that both 652 and 653 were going back to Elland Both 714 (V514 DFT) and 561 (W461 XKX) did have their new fleet numbers applied to the front of each on Tuesday, cannot comment on the others

They used to have a lot more in Tracky days Drove past Waterloo early this morning, three deckers in yard, both President's and the Heart FM Trident. No sign of the ALX's though. (Possibly out in service?). In the halcyon days of NBC Tracky, at least three quarters of Waterloo's allocation were deckers.
