Michael Windle You're right Cummins are based in Hunslet not too far from First Direct. Saw one of Stagecoach Yorkshire older e400s been towed there a good few months ago.

Now this really is rare, today there was a single decker (unidentified) working the Scott Hall Road 7 routes, saw it twice. Must have been around 10 years since the last single decker worked them routes. 69346 The odd single has worked it recently, usually a bramley one to cover broken hybrids. I’ve taken a few singles on it when I worked at bramley covering late turns on 7’s.

791 on 156/159s all day, a bit of a weird allocation to be honest for a sapphire buses, should be on 189s or 168s I reckon.

Wright Eclipse Urban bodied Volvo B7RLE MX05 CHO seen in Ilkley Bus Station briefly before continuing up to Ilkley Grammar School.
Had 'G26 Burley' set on the destination and is painted allover white with no fleetnames or legal lettering.
Must be a former-First Group vehicle (as it still retained First logo and free Wi-Fi stickers on it's rear window), but route G26 is operated by The Keighley Bus Company?
EDIT: Have just seen in the Covid Changes thread that the G26 is temporarily being operated by Connexions. Things must be bad for Transdev to ask their 'arch enemy' to assist!

They might not - they could have passed them back to WYCA to be reassigned...

Not necessarily a misallocation, but, a lot of TLC Bradford fleet has been parked in Bradford Interchange due to the fire near their depot. I’d say around 12 solos parked down the exit ramp from the old depot underneath. Possibly the first time a bus has been down there for a long time. Also a few parked up next to railway station part.

I did wonder if TLC might have been disrupted as the new depot is right next door to where the fire is, and the old depot would be even worse, further away but in the line of the smoke and Ripley Street was one of the roads cordoned off

Nice to see it in person I must admit Hope no one was throwing stones at it or causing trouble with it as I believe the 177 is a route that targets a lot of vandals and youths messing around/doing idiotic things

They are emergency tenders from metro I believe as Transdev handed them back temporarily until Christmas due to a driver shortage...

1810 was doing the S76 to St Wilfrids whereas the students had two doubles deckers this morning. 1802 as the main service to Pontefract, was very full and 1944 as the dupe

1603 on the 175 to Bottomboat this afternoon. Has normally been a 17xx.
A double decker not so unusual at the moment as it’s a daily occurrence when running a duplicate for the afternoon school peak.
