Spectra 632 has arrived at Heckmondwike and is apparently being prepared for use. I believe the plan is to keep this and 639 in service whilst the 1900's go off for refurbishment, but this could change. I heard yesterday (Metro 40 event) that 632 might be returning to Belle Isle looks like there is too much work required on that one for it to return to service. I have been told by a reliable source that it needs at least 3k worth of repairs, which is pointless if they are only going to use it for 6 months.

Any idea what the refurbishment of the Enviro 400s includes? Is it for a Sapphire service? There are 94 E400s on order this year, of which around 50 are unaccounted for...

Any idea what the PVR of the 110 is? Would cascade the Geminis around I guess, start binning the Volvo B7s?!

The enviro400's are supposed to be getting the full Sapphire works, just without the branding as Sapphire requires drivers exclusive to that route and I don't think any of Heckmondwike's drivers would sign up to Dewsbury - Bradford all day every day!

I actually believe the livery will be like the Enviro 200's that are due at Wakefield. Whether it will become a "local" livery!

So some interesting changes ahead if even the Enviro 200s will have leather seats. This is a turnaround after the leather seats were removed from the Olympuses. Also, I wonder whether the spread of the Sapphire branding may be Arriva's reaction to First going Hell for Leather!

637 has now departed Selby don't know where Proberly Wakefield which was replaced by 226 from Castleford and 230 as also joined Selbys fleet Didn't take too long for these sheds to appear on peak-time 42 journeys. At least 226 has comfortable seats, even if the height and pitch suggest they were designed for primary school children, but with Urban90s on 230, it's really not suitable for an hour-long journey. Plus, it's just knackered. I'm not sure quite how much was it being a sh it bus, and quite how much was having a sh it driver, but the combination of the two made for a very uncomfortable journey home tonight...
