How do bus allocations work? I'm very interested to know, do they start with the branded buses first so like the 189 branded buses for the 189 as an example? When it comes to pulsars and stuff, how do they know which route/diagram to allocate it to? I'm just very interested to know as I'm seeing 1479 keep getting diagrammed for the 187/408/490 even though the bus is branded for 410/411.

Enviro 200 brokedown on the last 188 evening service to Wakefield. Surely it shouldn't be cancelled and maybe could use a bus that terminates at cas then goes depot, instead of sending it do depot, divert it on to the 188? As Arriva might not have to fork out paying people's taxi fares if the bus is cancelled? If Arriva have such a policy that is

If Arriva have such a policy that is it operated , they put a Facebook post on firstly saying it had broken down and would be late, then another saying it was operating at around 10:30

Saw a 189 Branded Enviro in Altofts about 720pm this evening heading towards Castleford, it defintely had a destination number on the back? The 188 due that w was due at 5 past 7, it might have been a late 188? I didn't hear it go past at 5 past 7 that is always a enviro 200 though. Anyone know anything about it? Like say going through Altofts isn't the quickest way to Castleford from Wakefield or Normanton is it?

All 189's terminates at Castleford and go back to depot doesn't it, at end of diagrams, instead of terminating at Wakey or Leeds and going back empty? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Correct me if I'm wrong. some of the 189s do run full route after 7pm just on a reduced frequncy. It may have been a late 187 as the last couple of 187s that run from wakey to ponte are usually deckers

Most diagrams are booked for pulsars/commanders on the 187 with execption of one diagram and that is booked for an enviro 200. It might have been a late 189, and told to go back to Cas out of service, maybe? Or there was something wrong with the enviro, and told to go back to cas depot?

I stand corrected, it was a 189 as i've just seen on twitter that it is diverting via the 187/188 route to Castleford from Normanton

There was one on the 187 a few weeks back, but got swapped in Castleford for 1453 Can't see anything mentioned on AY FB page or Twitter page though?

I can confirm tonight the 188 has an enviro 400 on the route, I have seen it go past to Wakefield just a few minutes ago! It has got a pink advert on the back I didn't catch the fleet number. A very rare working indeed, this working is usually a pulsar

66346 was on the X63 peak board today and was full and standing just behind an empty 37084!
32525 has returned from painting in a new coat of Zest with what are (in my opinion) horrific font fleetnumbers
UID HD Connect Eclipse 2s were on 537 and 358 locals etc
