What 2 buses of work are Dewsbury losing? 213 Batley - Morley 281/2/3 PVR -1 I've been told by mates who work at Dewsbury, that they'll still be doing the 213, just between Dewsbury and Batley, just like they did for a while in the January 2013 Service Changes, when Tates won the tender for the service between Batley-Morley, which we know that First will be operating from February. But, has anyone seen if they're gonna take it round Howden Clough and Chimewood or straight down Scotchmen Lane?

Could be for tests on the 163/6 so that if the Geminis are OK on there then the Hybrid Volvos could be moved on Could be the first transfer in for the MAX 189, whilst others get the upgrades? Just herd two drivers talking about the hybrid on the 166/163 could be making there way on to the 189 and the 166/163 using MAX Pulsars 2!

Just herd two drivers talking about the hybrid on the 166/163 could be making there way on to the 189 and the 166/163 using MAX Pulsars 2! No, they can't seriously do that! They tried making 163/166 into a single deck service previously with the launch of the tempos back in 2009 which disgruntled many passengers and ruined the service at rush! The pulsars are just painfully slow, I'd rather have mixed bunch of maxed out presidents, Spectra's and alx 400's...

Expect the hybrids are contracted (as per Green Bus funding) to be used on the 163/166 for a number of years anyway

Don't think it would've been 1017,or could it?
