Unless it's just a stop gap and Heckmondwike will be receiving something better in due course.
Bit odd though, especially as they mix in on the same services as Gemini's and B7RLEs, rather than having a specific set of services that only justify old buses.

52 reg buses replacing 06 reg buses, who on earth does this ??!!! Technically they will be replacing the Y reg Presidents with the 52 plate Lowlanders, but with some depot allocation changes in the making by moving the 06 Lowlanders within Arriva Yorkshire, thus lowering the age profile of the fleet !

Penfold so does that mean 1606 - 1613 will be leaving Hecky (again) or will the 52 plates be additional???

Transferring the 06 plates to Selby is a costing thing as the 02 spectras cost Selby a lot of money to keep on the road that's why Selby refused the 52 plate lowlanders as sent buses to Selby and they will pay to get them right

So if Selby are getting 1606-1613, Hecky the 52 plate lowlanders, and 1800-1815 possibly all off to ANE where are the 55 plate ALX400/Geminis going as this is getting confusing to keep up with???

Plans change all the time but Heckmondwike are getting 52 plate Lowlanders from Leicester and the 1606 to 13 are going to Selby to replace the Presidents and we are keeping the 1808-15 don't know why we can't just have rest of 1800's the standardise the Selby fleet instead of pick and mix

I'd like to see 1800-1815 back at dewsbury, maxed out for the 281/2/3.... Wishful thinking !!!

What 55 plate ALX400/Gemini's? it's been mentioned on here both before and after the forum change that some 55 plate volvo b7s were due from london which means it could ALX400s been gained again (like the MAXed ones with ANE) or Geninis and all were been cascaded up from London.

That was the plan but Selby require the buses ASAP with the Presidents failing all the time now so the quick transfer of Lowlanders from Heckmondwike and replace them with older stock may only be temporary and everyone knows that Plans change all the time could change again next week or could be the London stock goes to Heckmondwike which may max another route as Selby can't warrant Maxing Leeds or Doncasters

Put lowlanders on the 163/166 maybe get a few mre from hecky but the hybrids r been used on 410/411 n other routes where u cud get away with using single deckers

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.

Any fans of 57 and 58 should catch them while you can. These are likely to join 662 in the reserve pool from 23rd July as Dewsbury are receiving two Pulsars from Castleford to replace them.
Of course, this may also mean that 57 and 58 get a bit of a tour before being withdrawn depending on demand for spare vehicles.
