At least 785 and 787 also made an appearance on 747

That metro decker looks like it goes well for Yorkshire Tigers operations. The demo livery is a near tiger like and they should let them borrow it.

They'll have to remove some seats to pass lol, I wouldn't think it was a heavyweight decker like a Volvo or Scania

Larger Batteries can help too, there are a lot of "tricks" which can be done provided there isn't a serious design fault. Anyone know how long it is since Optare produced its last batch of deckers? The Spectra didn't look to be top heavy so they should still have the skill there to fix it.

32449 has now gained the Strongbow Cider advert like on 36270/1, seen on 64/74 today.
Does this mean that 32450 will get done also?

Also 69332 on the 4.
And seen 60214 I think ( the Scania L94 with the air con pods) on either 49 or a 50. Couldn't see exact the fleet number, but was on Beckett Street.

It was 60213 on the 50 Dang, so close I only remember 60214 as an Air pod Scania L94. I went on this one late rainy winter night around 10pm on the 16 and the bus driver was fab, he had kickdown enabled from Leeds Train station to home

Arriva Dewsbury had a couple of failures on the Horbury bypass this morning. Pulsar 1485 parked motionless in the bus layby stop heading away from Wakefield. The driver was standing looking rather perplexed at the opposite of the road. Just 20/30 yards down the road towards Wakefield was Gemini 1508 between stops with the engine cover raised, driver stood at the rear with mobile in his hand.
