I believe 5 or 6 are coming and they're for use on the new Park & Ride service until the new E400 MMCs arrive around June/July. Well they're to be used as normal buses & repainted - or they could stay in that livery and go on Wetherby. Well if they for Park and Ride duties, It makes you wonder why there are going to be painted into the standard Urban livery.

It says above they are a stop gap on the Park and Ride, where ever they go after that will probably require standard livery

Have 30930/30931/30933 made their way over to Halifax, or are they still at Bramley?

Is 32452 now at Crossroads?. Went past this afternoon and noted a small number of Pulse branded Gemini's in the yard. Sorry, too busy to note fleet no's.

Perhaps it could have been an idea to send them to Huddersfield to update (slightly) the X63 stock and send the incumbent 54 plate Gem's there over to Leeds in the short term.

The X84 liveried E400`s often appear on other routes why not keep the B7tL`s in blue and gold

Only Yorkshire Tiger make allocation decisions based on what livery buses are already in!
First will just repaint them rather than trying to squeeze them into a role that isn't there. No different than all the other acquired buses that have been repainted recently.

In view of the tatty barbie purchases recently all running in service are we likely to see any of the Bristol buses running in blue before repaint. Saw a B7L in service on Otley Road today desperate for some tlc and a repaint.

The point I was making here is why paint the smart express livered Bristol buses when other secondhand stock needs a lick of paint first, I appreciate your point that any bus is better than none. It`s a shame our smart Olympic Gemini 2`s on my local routes are now an exception to the rule whilst old bangers appear, passengers are noticing the difference.

I have just seen Volvo B7RLE 66777 of Halifax on service 74 in Leeds today. Is this a loan or a permanent transfer to Bramley?

To be fair the paint shop must have been working flat out lately, check out the ALX400s at Huddersfield and some of the acquired ALX400/Gemini's at Bradford, which look like new, at least on the outside.
Those single deck Scanias still in Barbie 1 seem to be the exception rather than the rule.

Surely Huddersfield are due some more replacements. They have withdrawn 10 ALX400'S and have only had 6 replacements.

I think they only withdrew 9 as 30853 was already withdrawn, they've received 6 plus 37258, plus they had a slight school service reduction from September 2016, so I think they are ok.
