Volvo B7tl Gemini 37038 is the first to be debranded.
It should soon feature a new High Frequency logo. Although won't be branded for a route.

that will make bus allocations interesting, but then again it means Hunslet park can work any of its 12 reg gemini's (Except 36276-78) on any route , without it being a recorded misallocation anymore. Means our spotted board will become less populated lol.

I didn't like the current branding anyway, the text was so small compared to the older style as I bet hardly anyone would even read such small print. Plus notably some red/blue line branded Geminis have missing bits of branding due to replaced windows, another reason why I liked the older style brandings as it was mainly above or below the windows. But after this about high frequency stickers however, Stagecoach in Hull's Frequento springs to mind.

Michael Windle Probably be something similar to glasgow`s Simplicity ,i wounder if Bradford will get something similar as they only have 2 branded routes |

Maybe we should ditch the branding altogether and just paint the buses in a unique livery for each area.

The new High Frequency logos are due to be applied over the week-end 26/27th April.
I understand it (high frequency logo) will be applied to all those which had previously carried route branding.

First really struggle with branding, always half baked. Since 2001 we`ve had the Overground, Turn up and go, Superbus, elite, ftr, HyperLink, Super Sevens. In theory good ideas but sadly there is never the will to see it through with First and the whole thing falls apart. I wonder what brand we`ll be treated to next. Let`s just paint the Leeds fleet green and have done with it  |

In a way this is good. The High Frequency logo could inspire confidence. I never really like insignia over the windows, as it doesn't look good outside and makes it harder inside looking out.

Perhaps there's a network / working revision planned for the future, and this is the preperation for it.
Wouldn't surprise me if they started interworking more services, such as
1 / 6 at Holt Park
6 / 33 / 97 at Leeds City Bus station
4 / 56 at Whinmoor

Wouldn't surprise me if they started interworking more services, such as 1 / 6 at Holt Park 6 / 33 / 97 at Leeds City Bus station 4 / 56 at Whinmoor From what I have been told from a source, Senior Management at Leeds have been disappointed with the allocation of buses, not necessarily by the allocator, but more engineers who put any bus out if they need a swap. Usually on a morning, it can be difficult to get the right bus out on the right route because of positions of the bus, it was a decision soly made by Senior Management and I believe there are no plans to interior other services as yet. 1/6 can't interwork because of attics 6/28/97 can't interwork because the 28 trips start from Adel and it would increase PVR 4/56 can't interwork as the 4 terminates at Seacroft, and the 16 is the Whinmoor bus, linking them would mean that they won't have enough buses equipped for the guided bus way. As both routes are too long and have different frequency intervals. |
