Yes AY is closer but somehow doubt they'll have been able to spare anything apart from Arriva swallowing they're pride and sending the Scanias back.

Four more Enviro 200s according to WYIS - two 24 seaters loaned by Arriva NW to Elland, 2159 LJ07 ED and 2165 LJ07 ECF and two 30 seaters acquired for Waterloo, last with First South West (Somerset Passenger Solitions), SK68 LZH and YX68 UJS.

Speaking to a driver today who is a part time supervisor, he says they are in terrible trouble with vehicle availability. Even buses which have been re-painted and refurbished are knackered. For example the tempos for holmfirth, all they did was paint them and refurbish them. They did no engineering or maintenance refurbishment to them. The boss just wanted them looking ok and wasn’t paying for the engine work they needed. None of the have been out all together and they rarely do a full days work. One has been off the road for 4 weeks and another drivers refuse to drive everyday because of the steering. The ADL200s are expensive to run because they had hard lives in some airport and require work and so it goes on.
Interesting insight into the reality of team Pennine. I thought it was all good !

I snapped SK68LZH (now 729) on the 84A whereas YX68UJS (now 730) was on the 303. Shame they didn't purchase some ex London E200's that Abellio sent off lease recently but hopefully they do acquire some ex London stuff soon, would be great to see.

In case Metroline do not keep the E200-MMCs being released from route 235 in January, this could be the best place for them.

Has the spectra been repainted yet It hadn't been a couple of weeks ago when i last saw it, given it's age and the fact it's supposedly a "school bus", it probably wont be repainted. AFAIK none of the few decker's TP have are yet to receive the pink livery.

Both the Mellors have been on publicity duty today; Alex Hornby has tweeted that the ANW vehicles will be going back soon.

How did they get a Bristol registration ! It’s the same at Ocado. All our Ocado vans get Bristol registrations across the UK.
