1405 was meant to do the 14:45 147 to Pontefract. But due to communications with the drivers, this was swapped with 1800. Believe it was because when it returns it has to pick up New College Students and it wouldn't fit them all on a single decker. I believe 1405 is now doing 427?

I have been on the return of this bus on the 1559 to Wakefield, I can assure you this bus is packed as hell. I had 1714 when I took this bus and even with a double it was horrendous and it was very crowded So yes, they would never ever fit them all on a single decker. I took this run Pre Covid, but I can imagine it will still be very busy now.

Yeah I heard that they can't fit everyone on the bus so some has to be left behind which means they will have to find an alternative way home or wait for the next bus in an hour

Think he meant the little E200s I wish they only did Wakefield Estates, too many times they're on 147 and even 110 and 444.

Seems in this case though whatever it was it was running as a dupe not as a single service on its own. Plus half of the time they are on the 147 is due to the diagram they are on as some 102/104 diagrams end up on the 147 in the evening.

Yeah it looked to be a dupe as 1611 looked completely full of college students with the little E200 having a few there too

The New College 147 used to have a duplicate little E200 quite often. Whenever there was a duplicate, both buses were full. I'm surprised they haven't started running a dedicated New College only service.

Recalled seeing a coach to the new college a few times near Wakefield around 8am.

Poppleton's run them and 3 of them pick up outside the Market Hall (P1, P2 & P7) and Ross Travel run the P11 for Barnsley side

Yes the Poppleton's services are operating however it is based on students paying for a termly ticket (which may not work well for them if they don't live on route or aren't in college 5 days a week or finish early often).

Only a 10 minute walk to Pontefract bus station if they miss the 147 though if they want to go to Wakey., not too far.

I saw double deck 1982 on the 164 in Garforth on Thursday. I think this one is Heckmondwike allocated bus so seemed strange.

I think this one is Heckmondwike allocated bus so seemed strange. 1980-1983 are now allocated at Castleford because of the 164 service and the 164 is interworked with the 189 so Castleford needed more buses for those routes, and Hecky got some 1800s from Wakefield to replace 1980-1983. 1980-1983 moved to Cas at the end of August.

1071 and 1611, on the 740am 147 this morning. Does the dupe run back to Wakefield in service with the normal bus? Or does it run dead?
