B10BLEs have been very notable by their absence this week in Bradford. Before Christmas it was still typical to see 3 or 4 examples in old livery in quick succession. Are all the remaining T and V reg ones in the 60821-60840 range not DDA and hence have been withdrawn? 60824 was seen in service earlier in the week though. No, none of the Bradford T/V B10BLEs have been upgraded for DDA and were all supposed to be off by 31/12/15, in fact around 8 or 9 actually came off in November when the South Yorks 3750x's arrived. As you say,60824 (and at least 60826) have still been around in January, no doubt the 20 day rule (mentioned in the 'end of DDA thread')is being exercised.

When 30908 was painted into Olympia at Hunslet in October it was said that this would be the last one Bradford were sending because all the remaining ALX's in Barbie were being transferred out as part of a countrywide cascade plan. Cornwall was mentioned for 30857 & 30870 but now 30867 has gone to Bristol it looks like the plans may have changed, unless it's at Bristol en-route to Cornwall.

According to Steve White's forum, several ALX's are due from FWY to replace single deckers on some Bristol routes, due to increased passenger numbers. Unfortunately no mention of the exact number, nor any fleet no's.

I haven't quoted any fleetnumbers because we don't know which vehicles are coming yet just that 7 are due soon for Bath. And 30867 was out on its first day today.

If they are getting 7 of the unrepainted school sign examples, it's fair to say they are high quality well looked after vehicles, and the good folks of Bath will be delighted.
I might be being sarcastic.

Could have been off to Bramley, I think HP are sending some buses over for them to use on 72 on Saturday and then return to HP on Sunday. Doesn't mean those exact buses will be on 72 of course, Bramley could allocate them to any route.

Is Bradford getting something in replacement, because haven't the South Yorkshire Gemini's and ALX400s already been used to replaced the Renowns?
