Travelled on 32467 tonight on route 1, making some disturbing creaks and groans from the chassis and bodywork. Should it be in traffic? We had to get by a dead 58 plate B9 marooned near the University. New buses cannot come soon enough!

I was just wondering: what will the new guided buses be? I don't believe integral streetdecks can have guidewheels fitted.
I haven't seen any mmc's with them (though I could be wrong), I wonder if B5TL's can have them.

First will cascade out to wherever needs modern second hand buses the most, just as likely to be outside of West Yorkshire as inside. Remember when the streetdecks arrived, almost the newest buses left the fleet and left West Yorkshire.

Likely to see some of the B7Ls that have arrived as a stop gap?

Iknow 3/4 of the alxs are used on school services mon-fri at bradford so i cant see any major rush them being replaced. I don't know what there used for at Halifax and Huddersfield. I think halifax needs some newer double decks especially for services 503/508/576 and X63 at huddersfeild!

Halifax don't even have anything newer than 12 years old as far as deckers are concerned. Surely a long distance route like the 508 should have more modern vehicles operating on it? I don't think they even have any B9s? In WYPTE days the Roe Olympians were regulars. The eldest ones being four years old. The eldest buses used would of probably been Fleetlines at around 10 yrs old max.

The new Streetdecks have been rejected on quality grounds, lot`s of teething troubles.
