This is a stop gap until the first of the 284 new double-deckers arrive, beginning with routes 1 and 6, first 34 should arrive Sept/Oct. The Streetlites aren't a stopgap, they are to replace some of the flowline Scanias and the B6s. As a temporary measure Bramley and Bradford will provide DDs to Hunslet to backfill for the DDs released. These will return when new buses arrive, but delivery is not as soon as Sept/Oct. Yes that`s what I was meaning by "stopgap" at Hunslet Park, my mistake. The first Streetdecks will appear in the autumn according to First Leeds sources and should go onto the A660 first.

36212 36213 36214 now @ Swansea 47229 47230 and 47231 now @ Bramley Do you mean 47629 - 47631 from Port Talbot? I don't think 47229 - 47231 exist, the number sequence for 37 seat Streetlite DFs starts at 47405 upwards.

Couldn't completely remember which we're which.

It seems that some of Huddersfield's leather seated eclipses have been allocated to the 372 route, with stickers advertising the Waterloo weekly ticket applied to them

30895 & 96 now at Halifax for A99 work That explains why 30897 will be joining them shortly after repaint out of Barbie livery. Seems odd that this is going to be operated from Halifax rather than Bradford tho.

Halifax seem to be collecting them. That's the fourth one to be recently sent over from Bradford.

As 60851 has had to be withdrawn due to a fire, does anybody know what is replacing it?
