Frequenta looks good on the little buses operating town services in Darlo, however I'm struggling to see difference in service offering between Frequenta and Max for inter-town longer haul routes.
Surely Max would have made more sense for 148/149 and at least allowed BI to have some "MAX" spare vehicles which could have been given priority on the board that does an odd 126/127 when not needed on 148/9.

Indeed, the Frequenta route in Durham is a town service as well, rather than an interurban one.
I presume they wanted to introduce the Frequenta brand, but couldn't do any town services as they are all already branded as 'Little buses.."

Belle Isle Pulsar 1468 on display outside Pontefract Town Hall this morning. Freshly painted and branded up for the 148/9 Frequenta service. Looks smart.

Any particular reason why for the last two days I've seen a Cas Lowlander on 148/149 or is it one they've not reemoved from the blinds for Cas buses??? |

A few early morning 148 runs are run from Castleford depot which may explain seeing the odd tempo or lowlander on it

Frequenta Commander 1400 now VOR with nearside front corner damage Penfold What does VOR mean ?? Vehicle off Road. If a bus or coach as an example due to needing a lengthy period of repair then the operator has to notify the DVLA/DVSA and VOSA of this. |

Notifying the DVLA that a vehicle is off road means that you do not have to pay road tax for the period it is not being used and is kept in a place that is not a public highway. Car owners complete a SORN(statutory off road notice) but I am not sure what the PSV/HGV form is called

Another vehicle thread here points to routes 254 & 255 going Frequenta. I didn't think they were very frequent, especially beyond Cleckheaton?
It appears that not all vehicles repainted for Frequenta 148/49 have been refurbished, at least not with e-leather seating.
