I wonder what vehicles CT Plus will run on it as I though Tates owned the vehicles currently used although I could be wrong.

They might use one of their access bus buses, would be really funny as well as ironic if they put a mybus bus on it.

They'll probably purchase something, what with all their present fleet having roles already.
The spare AccessBus X reg Solos might turn up as spare buses though.

Metro own all the Solo's that operate on the Town/City Bus routes, as far as I'm aware. When Wakefield one moved from Star to AY, the vehicles also moved, same with Dewsbury, when Star gave that up, Tates got the vehicles off it.

The 2 buses from Star Travel didn't go to Tates. 1 (or maybe both) ran for Arriva Selby whilst the SRs were awaited. The 2 Tatss buses are 1 from TLC, and 1 from Rossendale. |

Both the ex-Star Solos were used by Arriva prior to the SR's arriving |

I don't know if I'm right here or not, but, while waiting at the traffic lights to head into Dewsbury Bus Station, from Wakefield side, a white unbranded Wright Streetlite, with just 3 people wearing hi-viz vests, sat at the front, came off Church Street, turned left and got into outside lane, as though going round to Sainsbury store. Could this have been CT Plus? Desti had 'Private Hire' and I only got MX12  of the registration |

I caught the Streetlite on the Free Town Bus today with a sign saying "operating on behalf of Tates". Have Tates fully given up on it or have they done it temporary to relocate depots??? Tates de registered it from last weekend (or they did, and things have changed) |
