Are all the Eclipse 2s now in service and allocated to this corridor, I must have missed that report if that is the case?

It was on the 1015 592 to Burnley, 1335 594, 1525 593. , this 1015 has 90% of the time been allocated decker Monday - Saturday for past year or so... & has been an eclipse 2 for past week. & it doesnt serve school times on any of the times it is running. & WY Bus, the entirety are listed for 590/592 etc for Halifax with Todmorden sending 667's out as per.

I didn't think they were coming out until the service changes though.
There isn't enough Eclipse 2s for the PVR, so other single decks and the usual few doubles should still appear.

That would be N324 NHG an ex Dublin Volvo Olympian, sold about 2 - 3 weeks ago. I think the name of the company is Red Bus Days, who are from Keighley I believe.

AY 1107 on 268 today, with Dewsbury's 1530 running on the 283 (plus a 15xx on the 202). I travelled on 1107, which was running late and full when I boarded. The driver seemed very cautious, giving way to everybody and driving steadily; absolutely nothing wrong with that, but was it that which made him late? Conversely, on a 202 on Monday, that particular driver had an odd way of propelling his vehicle (1801). Uphill and down was quite normal, but on the flat, he would accelerate as necessary, then ease his foot off the pedal and then back on and off and on! Very jerky ride.

Uphill and down was quite normal, but on the flat, he would accelerate as necessary, then ease his foot off the pedal and then back on and off and on! Very jerky ride. Their was a Wakefield driver a few years ago who was famous for doing bunny hop driving (middle aged asian bloke with a mustache and balding head, drivers always commented how bad his driving was), once came accross a Castleford driver who was 20 mins late on a 411 from Pontefract to Leeds in the days when it ran from Knottingley, one passenger in the queue said 'oh not him again, he's always slow and late', by the time he arrived in Leeds he was 40 mins late! Just as a side note, spotted an ex Dublin Olympian in Yeadon on a school route belonging to Hunters in their Blue colour scheme, not sure if this has been reported, additionally has the only school route serving Yeadon (S37) been replaced by a number of routes as also saw a BMC on an S58 on Yeadon High Street 2 days ago.
