Plus does that mean First Halifax have been getting fined when one of the Solos have done 508 in the past when it ran to LCBS Don't forget when solos used to regularly show up the 757 with Tiger as well. that's true and the Leeds City Bus used to as well before it merged with the 5 and that used Solos majority of the time. Plus Arriva's used Solos on it's routes: for a spell Selby used to use them on the late Leeds runs, Heckmondwike used 3021 and some of the SRs on 200/201 and 254/255 and even Wakefield's used Solos a few times on 117. Ladies Only Travel (LOT) used the old Bradford Free City Solos on their duties on 223 & 252 quite a often as well as Primos on the 252. |

Leedscitybus was the only solo allowed in leeds bus station as it fit on stand 1 now because stand 1 is used by Megabus any solo or other bus for example Mercedes van gets fined by metro £150 everytime it happens |

When vehicles enter LCBS their is a ANPR it tracks the registration and goes onto a spreadsheet The company's using LCBS that day have to tell metro which buses are being used that day If there's any vehicles that are incorrect or not been told about that's where the charges come in place. |

There did used to be an exiting ANPR until Cityzap Manchester reversed into it. |

TLC 595 Hebden Bridge to Crimsworth via Old Town renumbered to 595_ to avoid confusion with the 594 Crimsworth Circular.

It would be a lot easier for First Halifax if they just took the 37508 and some Enviros off school runs and then send the B7s on to the School runs to have a wider range of spare low emissions buses on the 508 bus route.

Clean buses not needed at present (thankfully lol) as there are no plans to re-introduce a clean air zone in Leeds |

One way the 116 can avoid the hassle of Leeds bus station is not to serve it, no harm in it turning at Eastgate for example which Station Coaches may well do.

Solos won't fit on stands at Leeds due to the barriers protecting passengers, which wouldn't allow any wheelchairs or prams to board.
Like as already been mentioned, when First Leeds did the Free City Bus, they used stand 1, but that is now ONLY for Megabus services.
As for there being an ANPR camera in Leeds bus station, there isn't, there WAS a speed camera, that caught any vehicle that exceeded the 10 mph speed limit on site, something that they should put back in.

116 looks like it will take 75 mins and will be a 3 bus job. It'll follow the current 116 route between Wakefield & Ossett. Between Ossett & Shaw Cross it will follow the current 117 route. From Shaw Cross to Leeds it will follow the 202/X17 route. So Leeds bound it will use Stand 9 in Wakefield, Stand E in Ossett, Stand A at White Rose Centre and then use Stand 8 in LCBS. Wakefield Bound will use Stand 8 in LCBS, Stand H at White Rose Centre, Stand C in Ossett and again Stand 9 in Wakefield.

I'm not overly familiar with the 117. How busy is it usually and will a solo be big enough if people use this as a direct alternative?

From 28 FEBRUARY 630/633 and 686/687 will be running a (temporary) timetable as a result of a driver shortage at Bradford depot. Note: 612, 72 and X6 are unaltered. E1 E3 E4 E6 E7
Revised routes and timetables will be introduced due to the reopening of Park Road
