Dewsbury depot have a 62 plate VDL Evolution on loan from ABC YJ62JWL back on loan. As posted in spotted thread - it may be here a bit longer. 1478 & 1480-95 are going away one at a time for a "modification". This is to cover while they're getting done..... Here is the said vehicle on 281 18th Jan flic.kr/p/R7F1Q3Sent from my SM-G930F using proboards

It will no longer be unique as Sapphire in the area!

I would imagine the hybrids have to stay where they are due to the green bus funding? Plus I wouldn't think it would stack up using expensive vehicles of that nature on Selby services perhaps with the exception of the 415. Aren't the Lowlanders unreliable? Can't see the 52 plate ones lasting long if they do come to AY. Wud nt the hybrids hav to stay at Cas?

If they promised that the Hybrids would stay at Castleford for 3 years, then obviously, 3 years will be up between March 1st and August 31st, who's to say, that they're not moving until July or August?

Selby is loosing 3 schools (626,634&697) also the X45 is to be withdrawn due to SY & NY funding cuts. The 09:02 476 from hut green is to be withdrawn also, there is currently a petition going for the 476 & X45 so this may change but doubt it.

There are plenty of other buses from Hut Green to Selby, and the X45 has been empty more often than not when I've seen it.
