Any buses from Castleford can be temporary transfered to Selby due to services and MOT's due to Castleford maintainence doing Selby jobs so if no Selby buses ready to go back have to take a Castleford motor as with most of the time we take one

Worth noting that driver trainer e400 T65 is officially part of the Yorkshire fleet, carrying AY legals now.
Also, London e400 T203 has been sat in BI for a number of days. Still yet to find out why it is here.... will update when I know.

Does anyone know if the bus wash at Castleford is broken? Quite a few of their buses especially the E200s are absolutely filthy

Brilliant!!, response of the year so far. Quite a direct response too. There's the long winded response where someone extends on about the temperature at which water freezes, and therefore the bus wash automatically cuts out so it doesn't break.... but where's the fun in that. But the buses in Castleford have been looking a dirty disgrace for quite a few days now, take last Thursday for example, and it was nowhere near cold then. You don't see the same issue elsewhere or are we saying Castleford is colder than anywhere else?

Whilst not necessarily an ARRIVA YORKSHIRE fleet change (although it had been a loan and in use by them) Arriva North West Mercedes Sprinter 1022 RX18LNU (which had been stored at BI) has recently left for an unknown location.

Does anyone know the whereabouts of Pulsar 1495? Not seen it in Dewsbury for months and according to Bus Times, this hasn’t been in service since 12 August last year.

Penfold I got told Pulsar 1475 had a new engine fitted recently, thats why it was out of service for 3 months, but then thats hasnt been in service for the last 5 or 6 days now, keeps breaking down.

According to a driver on Facebook AY Pulsar 1459 has been sent on loan to Redcar depot, anyone know how long this is for? The driver in question was the one who took it from BI to Redcar.
I've been told 1030 apparently has had an accident, and is sat at the back of Dewsbury Depot waiting for disposal.

Completely wrong on 1030 as its currently (or was on 260523) at Belle Isle being rebuilt after accident damage some months ago ! Penfold

I've been told 1030 apparently has had an accident, and is sat at the back of Dewsbury Depot waiting for disposal. This could well end up being for a while as Redcar/Whitby are really struggling with buses atm, especially double deckers for the X93/X94 as two of the B9TLs are long term VOR following fire/RTC incidents and the three B7TLs ain't the most reliable either, they've also had to borrow two E400MMCs from Ashington depot (pic on my Flickr) whilst two Redcar Pulsars have gone the other way. July may be a possibility of a return date owing to a large number of cuts within the Durham County portion of the company plus Arriva withdrawing services 51-55 at Northumbria.
