703 working today, seen in Wakefield this morning on 148/9 service. Just to confirm, 703 and 723 still allocated to Wakefield and not envisaged for imminent replacement. A few others went back out in service in September to help loan minibuses to Tiger, but these are now all withdrawn again. In effect, these final two are the two extra vehicles kept on to run service X88 to TK Maxx at peak times. In practice they will tend to be mixed in interchangeably with unbranded 1500s/1800s on 109/147/long 195/446/481 and X88 work.

Saw 706 come into Dewsbury bus station as a 283, then it was changed to Wakefield 113 at the front, Wakefield 173 at the side, 444 on the rear and went out as a 283. Yes I know, the 113 is not an Arriva operation.

Your picture Mark has a nicer livery than the insipid new Arriva standard livery.

Thanks for that Mark. I'm guessing this is to cover for vehicles getting put into new livery?

I know it's slightly going off topic but how many of the 52 reg lowlanders are still in service/floating about? Surely these would have gone first before they started withdrawing the spectra's?

I could be wrong but i believe Heckmondwike still have 2, Dewsbury have 1 and 1 is still on load to Yorkshire Tiger Barnsley
