Odd sighting this morning. Saw a Castleford Mini E200 in a layby on the A655 Normanton Bypass not far from where the roundabout is with Glasshoughton Police Station, with 'Rail Replacement' on the destination. I would hazard a guess that its a positioning move and the driver is simply waiting time? (And is possibly a rail enthusiast!?) Or the Staff Bus!

Arriva Dewsbury had a couple of Pulsars 1451 and 1491 on 126/7. In the case of 1451 this was one of the ones initially based at Belle Isle and route braded for 126/7. They were replacing Gemini 1531 and 1533.
At Belle Isle, leather clad 1524 was on 126/7 along with correctly branded 1525 and 1527. While 1528 was on 444/6 and new Enviro 200 1024 was on the free City Bus in place of Solo 3042. Pulsar 1458 and Spectra 704 were both on 110

Arriva Wakefield Optare Spectra 709 had a minor break down I think this morning as I saw it in a layby just before Sharlston Common with its hazard lights on but then about 40 mins later it passed me in Pontefract heading out of service towards Knottingley.

A lot of Selbys Maintenance is carried out at Castleford, plus I think that Castleford undertake certain types of maintenance for the whole Arriva Yorkshire fleet

Am hearing rumours that Tates had one of their buses involved in a "Thermal Incident" in Dewsbury earlier today. Anybody got any more details?

AY Solo 3044 made a 'Guest appearance' on the 111 Pinderfields after nearly 2 weeks off the road. It lasted I believe 3 trips before being replaced by a Spectra !

Not 100% certain as i only saw the rear nearside of the bus, but in Knottingley yesterday morning, working a '149', i caught a glimpse of what looked like a Pulsar carrying '194/5/6' branding. Could have been a 'Commander' though. Anyone know of any Belle Isle Pulsars with branding on?
