On 254 today were 1612 and 1815, whilst 281/2/3 branded 1494 came into Dewsbury completing a 253 journey and departed on the 212. There seems to be a real mixture of buses on 281/2/3 these days so I do wonder why the branding continues.

There seems to be a real mixture of buses on 281/2/3 these days so I do wonder why the branding continues. Since the last month or so when the 253 and 278 were cut short at Dewsbury, the 253 was interworked at Bradford with the 283 hence more different buses on 281/2/3, better still the 278 and 253 also inter work at Dewsbury.

Dewsbury were using Volvo Darwens 1808 and 1811 together with Enviro 1916 on 126/7.
All three had 202/3 branding on them

You'll find that all three services (278/253/283) all interwork. 278 comes from Halifax to Dewsbury, changes to 253 to Bradford, which then does a round trip to Thornhill on 283, on arrival back at Bradford, back onto 253 to Dewsbury, then 278 and then the cycle starts again

Dewsbury were using Volvo Darwens 1808 and 1811 together with Enviro 1916 on 126/7. All three had 202/3 branding on them Two of us saw1811 also on the 203. Pulsar 1454 was serving the 254 and 202/3 branded 1926 on 281/2. An unidentified Pulsar had a run on the 130.

AY had still 202/3 branded Olympus 1802 on 223. Tate's were using ex-Bakerbus hybrids DX61 EOM and EOP on the 213. Two of the four seem to have been on that route all week.

A tad over specified for the 213 and of course they are in another operators livery. School hols of course they'll probably be back on Leeds schools next week.

Do Tate"s Travel operate Leeds school services as the four are owned by Tate's according to a driver who said they do after acquiring the former Eddie Brown stock?

A single deck 255 from Leeds at 12:00 has had its door glass put through Are you sure?, cos the 1125 255 from Scholes was terminated at Cleckheaton bus station at 1135, after a kid aged about 6/7 years old, was sat in the front nearside seat, and was kicking the glass panel in front, as well as, pressing his feet on it, until it exploded showering the front including cab area in glass.

According to the Tate's driver today on the 213, two B5LH's are being retained for the 213, the other two are going to be used on the 8 in Barnsley. I agree that these are a bit OTT for the 213, the 14:35 from Morley departed with a couple of OAPs and nobody else! I also believe they've lost the GSAL contract. Fourways for GSAL anybody?

Fourways for GSAL anybody? 1) there are 3 not 4 buses 2) the 8/8A requires 1 bus 3) the 1435 ex Morley is a poorly used journey, as on schooldays it terminates at Bruntcliffe, before running back to work the 1457 Morley - Dewsbury Hospital via Bruntcliffe High School.

It was the one to Halifax though because I overheard the driver when we got to cleckheaton saying the 12:00 Leeds to Halifax went back to the depot as it has had its right hand door glass put through by some footie watcher that were already drunk before the match and we're laughing away even when the police came and took a certain group to the police station in Leeds to have a chat and apparently they have made trouble with transport before
