Can anyone confirm wether or not 35217 has had Pulse branding applied to it whilst it's laid up at Bramley depot after it's RTA? Yea it's been back a week or two now Kev, complete with Pulse. Unbelievable then that I was in Leeds on Monday & it was the only one I didn't see.

You must have been unlucky then because I spent half an hour at Dawson's Corner and photographed it working the 72 on Monday. I've also got a shot of it in Bradford Pulsed up on the 19th of July.

Other than the Streetcars, does anyone know which buses at the two Leeds depots are being replaced by new deliveries? I'm still seeing some of the batch of V(-ESC) reg Wright bodied Scanias in service. I presumed they would be going. Although I expect PVR has recently gone up slightly with the launch of new First services along routes formerly operated by Yorkshire Tiger. Thanks.

B9TL's 36181-190 have departed to Eastern Counties with 36191-202 due to move down there in due course. The ALX400's are slowly migrating away to Halifax and Huddersfield. Don't think the Scanias are going just yet though.

Still, guess they have to balance out the fleet age across all operations.

Don't think the Scanias are going just yet though. As this batch of Volvo B9TLs is unique, it is a pity that we are losing some. At least a large batch will remain in Leeds for now at least. I am prepared that the Enviro 400-MMCs are unlikely to be in service for the August Bank Holiday. I am hoping they could be in service for late October. If this seems promising I might even postpone my next Leeds visit to ride one!

Would these be the last double-deckers new to First to be delivered in Barbie livery?

Looking at the photo, it does not have the grey leather seats and pink grabrails. So, this makes the batch of 100 built for the Olympic Games, of which 98 came to Leeds, unique. These in Norwich are similar for being Gemini 2s though.

After my August Bank Holiday / October cliffhanger, I have now booked to come to Leeds on the August Bank Holiday! As part of my Leeds transport festival, I shall ride a StreetDeck on route 72 or X6. I shall not go far enough north to see route X84 outside Leeds eg the Headingley & Otley areas, making my eventual ride there next year on an Enviro 400-MMC more enjoyable. Just a thought, I reckon current route X84 Volvo B9TLs will switch to routes 33/a once route X84 goes over to these new buses.

I do wonder when the rest of the new buses will appear because by my calculations Hunslet have lost more buses than they've gained, and once the full timetable starts again in September they look like they hardly have enough buses to run their services.

Bear in mind that since the recent service changes, some routes have gone to over/ replaced with current Bramley Routes. Bramley have gained xx number of Streetdecks but I don't believe they have lost any buses like Hunslet.

Not sure how that's more out than in!

I therefore wonder where the current Volvo B9TLs with dark leather seats will go, and whether they will be refurbished with normal grey e-leather seats?
