Saw a B7RLE on the 142 today, for the first time ever, Coastliner 1837. Front and side boards were showing the full destination but the rear one was just showing the number.

Pennine D15 was parked up in Horton-in-Ribblesdibble yesterday, with the destination board showing "Pennine Motor Services (1925–2014)", but I didn't see why it was there or if it was being chartered.

Arriva Selby were using Enviro200 1066 on the 415 today.
Having received a refurbished spare MAXed 1528 (YJ61 OBB) even with this pressed into service Selby were still struggling with their MAXes. 1066 was replaced mid morning by 1505, even so it then reappeared by lunch time. No signs of 1501 or 1502

Arriva have got a Solo SR on the 415 tonight, and it's just highlighting the problems with the way these buses are kitted out. The 2005 from York on a Thursday is quite possibly the busiest journey of the WEEK, there are almost no seats left and we haven't even got to the Outlet, where on late-night shopping day there are usually at least a dozen people waiting. And with no legroom for anyone over 5'6" and no luggage space at all, when these buses are full you really know about it.

Also saw EYMS running one of their brand new buses on the X47 to "Helmsley via Kirkbymoorside"! How come the displays are set up to allow that kind of nonsense combination to be shown?

Their Mobitec destis are set so they put there number in first then the code for the destination. A Driver once showed me this when we broke down on 766 on the 45 route

Definitely an improvement on a Solo SR, it doesn't feel like the Piccadilly Line in the rush hour tonight, but I'm still not sure why they can't manage 2 Geminis in service out of a fleet of 8...

Is 1411 over at Selby on loan from Castleford or is it there for a reason. Don't Selby have 9 Geminis now 1500-1507 and 1528

The shortage of branded Geminis for the 415 continues with recently transferred Darwen 1811 making an appearance on there today, plus both the spares Geminis 1502 and 1528

Transdev York 1107 was seen at Tadcaster today on a 843 coastliner working. Anyone know why? The desti was off and a piece of paper was on the windscreen saying 843 York and the bus was meant to go to Malton.

As a duplicate? As Tadcaster residents could travel for £1 today.

Connections West Yorkshire livered Omnicity broke new ground this lunchtime on a X1 when its driver having somehow missed turning into (Lower) Station Parade Harrogate took the next available left turn, Mount Parade which is a one way street with cars parked down both sides. Suspect its the first and hopefully last time a bus has used that road.

Arriva 695 working a trip on York service 26. Presumably connected to Solo 3050 getting stuck in mud in Acomb.
