Didn't Darts 260-262 get used on the 42? yes and that's because they are lighter than Solos like the mini e200s are. As i've said when Transdev ran the 42 before Arriva got it back they used e200MMCs and the MPDs. Utopia only used Solos on the Selby-Drax leg majority of the time and the Mercedes minibuses were used on Selby-York due to the swingbridge.

1603 and 1609 appear not to have been used for about a week now. But it’s good to see 1621 still in regular use on normal services (non-schools).

1603 and 1609 appear not to have been used for about a week now. But it’s good to see 1621 still in regular use on normal services (non-schools). I think there could be issues with them. As 1608 entered service with Castleford on the X60 but didnt do any school runs on 07/03/22. It ended back in service on the 25th March, I remember seeing it in Castleford layover. On 07/04/22 it looked like it went out on a day trip to Leeds for a bit. My assumption is that 1603/1609/1611 might be getting some attention possibly. I do agree that 1621 is in regular services from time to time as it has been out 3 times in public use with with 2 days doing schools runs and then enters public use and it has been on schools twice from this week.

It looks like 1607 is out on the 255 today which is good for a Saturday, as no Lowlanders we’re out at all the Saturday before.

Looking at Bus Times:
1603 hasn’t been out since 1st April. That’s over 3 weeks now, so perhaps not looking good?
1604 appears to have been out today for the first time since 8th April
1606 and 1607 no particular issues - out and about quite regularly.
1608 back in service after a hit and miss period.
1609 back out today for the first time since 13th April.
1611 appears to have been out of use since 5th April.
1613 not in use today but was out last week.
The oldest bus in the fleet 1621 - no issues by the looks of it, out and about regularly!

So 1603 is still the only one left out of use (not operating since 1st April). The rest seem to be out regularly on a mix of schools and normal stage carriage routes.

Looks like most Lowlanders are back in use today, even 1603 which has been out of use for some time (see previous posts).
The only ones not in use today according to Bus Times are 1604 and 1608.
All vehicles out are on schools. Be interesting to see if some end up on normal fare stage routes later.

1611 spent around 6 hours dumped at the side of the road (half on and off the kerb) in Hemsworth awaiting recovery on Wednesday morning causing slight traffic issues.
