Could well be as there's only been 773 and 776 regular on 231/232/435/436/437 lately when i've seen them.

Plus why replace 1410 Arriva only had it convert last year and the same with 621 and 622

So yes they’ve just been refurbished , but I reckon LBA will have stepped in to force the withdrawals

Can't see Tiger upgrading the Commanders/Cadets to Euro6 spec.

wouldnt really say that 1410 is tatty. I feel that its more the drivers and the poor maintenance that make the fleet look tatty.

Also 621 and 622 could have easily gone to Elland or Waterloo depots

The Versas could easily head off to other depots but I suspect they may be on lease rather than owned.

Fleet being renumbered? Saw a D/d in Shipley today numbered 1xxx and several Solos as2xxx with first digit squeezed in before old f/number.

More to the point, what was a Tiger decker doing in Shipley last i knew there was no deckers at Idle and i doubt they would have brought the lowlander 1627 back unless it was for use at Waterloo or Elland. Are we sure it wasnt an Arriva one on Rail Replacement duties

Fleet movements from Arriva!
Selby > Elland 3052 and 3053
Selby > Waterloo 3020 and 3021
Heckmondwike > Waterloo 1601, 1602, 1603 and 1604
Current news:
- 3052 and 3053 have been delivered to Bell Isle to get CCTV modified and will transfer to Elland shortly and will go in service without repaint into Tiger.
- 3020 and 3021 are the next to leave Selby unsure if they are getting CCTV modified aswell at Bell Isle or straight transfer to Waterloo these will also be going out without repaint into Tiger.
- 1601, 1602, 1603 and 1604 will come to Waterloo shortly unsure if they are doing anything with these or straight into service.
Withdrawals - 337 to be withdrawn once the first solo from Selby comes.
Unsure if anything is getting withdrawn at Elland yet.

I’m hoping ‘without repaint’ is just a short term situation and we won’t be back to how it was a few years ago with buses in all kinds of liveries in the fleet.
The Lowlanders would look smart in Tiger livery

The Lowlanders would look smart in Tiger livery We shall see. Going to be quite exciting to see what the lowlanders will be allocated on. With 3 deckers Tiger tended to have them all on 231/2/3 with the occasional misallocation but with 4 I hope there is more of a chance of lowlanders going onto different routes!
