They are the best Enviro's i've been on, certainly a lot different with their ZF AsTronics gearbox

Thanks TTT. As I am touring the area in August again, I wonder whether any of these E200s operate any interurban routes on Sundays? I would love some to run to Leeds, or alternatively routes 231/ 232 to Huddersfield, but I realise these latter routes may work from Dewsbury not Belle Isle. These regularly work into Leeds on service 446 on and evening and Sundays Thanks Andy! I must ride one from Leeds to Wakefield one Sunday late afternoon to connect with a Stagecoach 444 back to Leeds.

A few of the new Enviros at Belle Isle have fleet numbers applied at the rear 1013, 1026, 1028 and 1029. Unlike those at Castleford where theirs have been added in the centre top of the engine flap the ones at Belle Isle have theirs on the offside rear corner section

I think they may be doing the same with the repainted Enviro400s, with 1902 so noted today, showing the number at the nearside rear corner (below window level).

Last weekend I did see a new E200 on route 446 on Saturday evening. Both buses I saw on that route on Sunday were Geminis. Thankfully, I was able to ride from Wakefield to Leeds on an E200, namely 1027, on route 117 instead! The interior seemed similar to my previous bus, a leather route 110 Gemini, which was actually on route 481. (I hope you have followed all this, as I shall be asking you questions later!!!).
There was quite a mixed bag on several routes last Sunday in fact. In particular, on route 117 I saw an E200, a Pulsar 2 and a Gemini! This may be the first time I have ever seen a minibus, a full-size single-decker and a double-decker on the same route on the same day anywhere in the country.

Rattle more than the old darts these buses, had high hopes for them but the noise is annoying at times
