1809 did the S76 and is now heading to Pontefract Bus station 1604 on the 147 as the main and sounds amazing. If its correct via bustimes, 1943 is also on 147 as the dupe. 1621 should be on 1300 and 1600 147 departures from Pontefract today

It looks like its 1307 if you go to bustimes.org and click 1307 for flickr it shows it arriving in Leeds ready to go back to hecky on the 201. Apparently it says they are short on buses there but who knows. Quite interesting but hopefully it will be getting tracked soon mate!

Not great for those passengers waiting on the guided sections if it's missing them out.

True but they maybe looking to invest in some with guidearms or the Volvo B5 Gemini with Guidearms to standdown the current Hybrid Geminis which are all 10 years old now so will be due for upgrading and the vehicles cascaded elsewhere

Overtime from Bramley? Breakdown & vehicle availability? Anything. The passengers waiting in the guideways wont be missed out, the bus will still pick them up.

If that makes sense. When I worked in Leeds Brameley sometimes on a late show up I would cover Hunslet work, using bramley vehicles. I used to take the 338 Enviro 400’s all over lol.

Makes sense as the routes each depot run overlap each other at times and i bet you cover all depot routes in training too which is useful for such shortages

The passengers waiting in the guideways wont be missed out, the bus will still pick them up. They would be missed as you can't safely stop in the middle of Scott Hall Road, for example the stop next to Stainbeck Lane is too close to the roundabout to stop safely, the temporary stop there during recent roadworks often blocked the entrance to the parking area by the shops. I've often heard drivers telling passengers they can't stop to let them off, say at traffic lights, and passengers must wait until it's at a bus stop so I'm sure the shop owners would be quick to complain if a bus stopped where it shouldn't. Same issue northbound with the stop next to the field not far from the first roundabout, that defo is too dangerous to stop at being on a fast section close to lights. You've also got to consider how long it would take passengers to cross over to the guideway to the bus, so how long would it be waiting, especially if lights are slow.
