Just clocked a red Optare Solo on the Ring Road at Moor Town with 113 - Mid Yorks Hospitals on the destination - presumably Tetley's for their new contact.

If it is it will be fine for navigating Dewsbury hospital & Pinderfields hospital grounds no probs, owt bigger than they may want to think carefully about what to use Pinderfields shouldn't be a problem. Belle Isle have run Pulsars on the 111 before. |

Seems odd that this service does not pick up at any bus station, given that it hits the town/city centres.
People have to get to one hospital to be able to make a journey to another.

Todays route from Dewsbury was presumably A638, A638 (Ossett Bypass), M1 J40 to J41 then A650 (Wrenthorpe Bypass) to Wakefield town centre. Is this normal route ?

Penfold There was one at lunchtime coming into Wakefield on Dewsbury Road just passing the top of Broadway when I saw it, I think it was the 56 plate one which is just a standard Solo |

Penfold I was on one that went that way and must say I was quite confused at first then realised I get its quicker. We did the journey in 22 minutes |

I was at Pinderfields for a job interview on 13 August and I was surprised to see how it gets to the main enterance by coming in from Bar lane end, going down narrow road and then a sharp u turn back on itself I know speed is important but why risk crashing into manovering ambulances. (apology for spelling.

Tetleys have been awarded the Quarry House shuttle in Leeds so this will be for that

Ah I see. I know the Solos have been on 113 solid until now, so I guess they'll have more flexibility now

Just seen cutting through the centre of Wakefield on the 113 hospital service, all white with some sort of leaf design branding, old style Alexander Dennis E20D Enviro 200s YX17NSN, YX17NSO and YX17NSU. They look to be 33 seaters slightly longer than the equivalent to the MPDs.
