Transdev has put 36 branded Gemini 3606 (X6 VTD) on Coastliner services today. Pulled in as 840 at Leeds Bus Station, going to Malton as 843. I noticed 1 heading up York Road with "Bus Reversing" on the destination around 10.15am. Definiately wasn't reversing... Have seen the same on one in Harrogate, maybe the same vehicle. Whilst rare its a long standing arrangement that surplus Harrogate vehicles might have a trip out to the coast, recall an Olympian running empty into Harrogate bus staion ready to take up a 23 to Markington back when that was a proper bus route not a NYCC occassional minibus with the blind mistakingly set to Bridlington!

In 1999 I remember seeing a harrogate and district Volvo b10b Strider what was the Coastliner 842 route in Leeds bus station, ( it's rear service number blind gave it away). The front displayed 842 then the green blank destination was used.

The white demo Gemini 3 that was at Harrogate last week was seen today going up and down Geldard Road at Birstall. Assuming doing some tests while at Volvo at Crossroads.

Not actually 'spotted' by myself, but saw a pic on my facebook earlier of one of the Belle Isle 'Commanders' (194/5/6 branded) involved in an incident outside Lidl supermarket in Featherstone this morning whilst working a '148' to Wakefield. Not sure wether it's hit another vehicle or a pedestrian. Hope all the persons who were involved are okay. Didn't look to be too much damage to the bus (if any).

So 'big' buses now being used on the 846 and 847. Long time since i used these routes. Do they still serve tight back roads in the Wrose and Myers Lane areas?

Since when have 435/436 and 231/232 interworked? Is that a new feature? I thought the 435/436 was standalone, often Solos?
