There was an accident on the Bradford Guideway this morning, just by Dixons Academy. A eclipse urban had gone into the back of a B9/Gemini. Two further buses were trapped behind. I was on 69273 on the 687 going into town and we seemed to skid into the back of 37096 on 645, However my driver was going rather fast. X63 then followed and got stuck which was 37086 and 681 after which was 69300

AY1470, AY1017 and an unidentified Hybrid on 110s Penfold Lot of branded buses not sticking to their original routes as of late? Any particular reason? God forbid, if a cadet gets on the 110! That would be awful!

One of them (916 I think) did a stint on it last week but forgot to post it on here. Penfold That couldn't have been fun for the passengers! Uncomfy seats for a start! Wouldn't like to go to Leeds on it! Although I went to go on the 110 last week and I found a pulsar sitting in the bus station there, which I knew could happen! I'm glad it's every 10 minutes, so I just waitied for the next one and it was an Enviro! I couldn't have imagine the Cadet would have done the full diagram to be honest.

Correct me if I'm wrong the 04 plates ones, they would have been very good pool buses!

They should have got rid of some ALX 300's instead to go up to Scotland instead of the commanders? Just a suggestion, as I think commanders are very good buses and those commanders were only 5 years old. Not a fan of 1450-1453 to be honest.

No worse than when I once took an MPD out on a 444 and did the full Wakefield - Barnsley - Leeds - Wakefield circuit.

As with most groups, it was probably a case of ‘If you want these new buses, what can you offer in exchange’ Some companies are used to take the initial hit on book value, so that other companies can afford the vehicles a year or so down the line. Same reason why First Leeds sent MCW Metrobuses to Manchester a few years back, whilst they sent Atlanteans to Huddersfield - All down to book value.

And the same reason why Leeds’s 12 plate Gemini’s are being transferred to other group companies so fleets that can’t justify loads of brand new buses can get some that are only 7 years old.

Mods. Any chance of sub partitioning the Spotted section into:
Arriva First Any other operators.
No disrespect intended. Recently I'm scrolling through page after page of districts I have no interest/knowledge in.
Many thanks

I saw 703 in Kirkthorpe this morning at 8am? Is there any reason for this? Kirkthorpe is a weird place for the bus to go because BI don't serve Kirkthorpe it's Castleford!
