Sending any of 1100-14 to Yorkshire Tiger would be a shame. I think these are some of the best looking buses around and good on which to ride. I feel sure I am not alone here. As for repainting them, I have returned to having a preference for the older livery, so am in no hurry to seeing them changed.

President 696 worked in to Wakefield this morning on 150 from Selby, last I heard was that 696 had been withdrawn and it was parked up at Belle Isle in the early summer.

Wonder what the chances are of Castleford ever getting more deckers? The evening peak sees Enviro 200 minibuses on the 189!! Absolutely ludicrous! Thank heavens I'm in the opposite direction

Thank heavens I'm in the opposite direction The Tempo's are coming off the 189 soon, I assume to be replaced with new stock, maybe it will get new (MAX?) deckers?

I wonder whether the Tempos will be staying in Yorkshire for other services? Being non-standard they could almost go to Yorkshire Tiger!

I would expect part of the fleet will stay in Yorkshire in some capacity. I'm not sure they'll continue piling non-standard stock into Tiger though, I would expect the fleet there to start being standardised somewhat, but in the aftermath of Geldards going bust, they took on extra work and extra vehicles at short notice so had to take whatever they could get their hands on.

They do already have some Tempos of course. Maybe a few more added to the mix wont be too bad and would raise the age profile a tad.

The age profile at Tiger is skewed because of the elderly deckers, required for schools and capacity issues and a few solos neither of which would initially be replaced by some midlife Tempos. Would replacing the recently refurbished Scanias on the Bradford Airport services with the Tempos be a step forward, no doubt some members will say yes while others will say no............................

Wonder what Cas will use on the 188 if they losing four E200 minis. That will leave 'em with just four (3 for service and one spare). Only just enough. If one is off the road, might be a problem.

Good thing that the branding won't need changing as it says "little buses Big in Yorkshire" as apposed to wakey ones.

Odd allocating just 1 Gemini to Cas. Would have thought they would have sent another Lowlander. Or is it for a specific service?

It does make me wonder why did Castleford require the initial 8 baby Enviros when it appears they only have the work for 4!

Semmed to be to replace the MPDs like for like, even though there was barely enough minibus work for the MPDs even then.
Probably why they've been able to spare one to go on loan to Tiger, still there when everything else has long returned back to their homes.

Still some Solos at Elland which were drafted in straight after the fire
