Must be a bus spotter doing Halifax scheduling whilst the main scheduler is away. Plus, in my day as a driver, you got a bus of your choice for late turn duties if your controller was a spotter Good like to see variety instead of the same type of bus day in day out, if I was controller I put on every D/D routes a ALX400, at least 2 Geminis & a Streetdeck

Had 1001 on the 188 the today both ways. Is there a reason why they couldn't use Commanders or Pulsars on that route? It was packed today. I get the 187 often, and it isn't usually that busy.

I get the 187 often, and it isn't usually that busy. the 188 has to use the little e200s to be able to run full route whereas if a Pulsar, Commander or tempo are put on the route is restricted from Cas to Knottingley.

You can usually tell for example branded buses off routes, deckers on Calder Valley, 539 operated by a B7RLE instead of a Solo. In Bramley we have a dedicated bus allocator who sits in the wooden box in Bay 2 handing out buses. He does a great job as he does get the correct buses out on the correct routes. When he is on holiday it is done by relief controller who likes to mix things up a bit (his words not mine)

The 410/411 branded pulsar on the 187 again today. Surely the paint job/branded design would look better to go on a enviro 400 maybe? As the 189 enviros rarely stray off route.
