I have a theory that these will be two ex Irwell Line buses. This is as 1728 and 1726 have not been in service for either in 1726's case a short while or 1728's case a long time. Also the Irwell Line has permanently decreased from Every 15 minutes to Every 30 minutes which requires 3 less buses on the rotation.

Could it not just be the two Eclipse 2's usually used on it getting repainted out of the grey and black?

The Denholme > Keighley section was always fairly busy when it was the Half Hourly service from Bradford (i remember there was quite alot of complaints during the time between it going Hourly & the 504 turned back into the 502) The lack of countless TJ Walsh services on the Ovenden/Illingworth section probably helps as well. With the 662 currently every 15 mins & it also due new vehicles,could be the first of it's Eclipses being moved? |

Twelve year old buses? Is that what the public really wants?

While the Presidents at Keighley are looking their age (not helped by most still being in the old green and blue livery), the 05 Reg Geminis certainly don't look 17 years old. |

Latest WYIS fleet list shows 1714 and 1715 transferred from Rosso with 3 more to follow. |

Fair point, although, i think the President design looks old compared to the Gemini, which still looks relatively fresh and modern. |
