Is this a brand new bus company?. Does anyone know where their depot is based and what service routes they have?.I saw a photo on Facebook of a wrights bodied single decker bus which had just apparently had a re paint and it looks brilliant. I wonder if they need drivers?.

Many thanks for that info Stephen, very much appreciated. I actually read somewhere that their depot was in the Hunslet/Stourton area, LS16 is mega miles from that area. Anyway i`ve sent an email to their office for more info about their operations.

The company's registered address is in LS16, but looking at it I don't believe there can be a depot anywhere near there. It's actually the home address of one of the company directors. |

And their PSV Operator registration says their operating centre is at: BROWNRIDGE TRANSPORT COMPOUND, QUEEN STREET, LEEDS, LS10 1SL, GB |

There is no way a depot would even be considered by the planning department for the LS16 address lol, it's the last road off Weetwood Lane on the right before the horse place/Ring Road, if the planners gave permission you'd soon see the Nimby's up in arms objecting like mad lol |

I`m very curious now. If this new bus company only has an Optare Solo and a Wrights single decker in the fleet, it must only have either one school contract or one service route?.

I wonder if the Solo will eventually be re painted to match the Wrights single decker bus?.
I am sure that i`ve seen an advert on Indeed from this company advertising for drivers due to the company having had recently been awarded a few new contracts. Also decent rates of pay for weekend driving too if its the same company ( Yorkshire Travel Group ). Apparently you get a smart uniform and your birthday off and you can do night shift.

Sought of like how TJ Walsh's depot was by the Shay Stadium in Halifax but they're registered address was in Sowerby Bridge |

I managed to have a ride on the 61 earlier. The driver was very pleasant, getting to know all the regular customers. He was also wearing a company Tshirt.
The solo had very comfy padded seats for a 20 year old bus.
Paper timetables were available.
The service ran on time.
All round it appears to be a decent little operation.

Got to say for the journeys I've seen today they're doing quite well for this route, good loadings on South Accommodation Road towards the hospital and Hunslet on 4 journeys I observed this morning and afternoon, and vitally running on time more or less.

I sent an email Monday 3rd October to their office email address which i found on their Facebook page to enquire about the company and the shifts and my interest in joining them. I`ve not currently had a reply so they are either super mega busy or they are fully staffed.

If my memory serves me correct isnt Pro Fleet based close to the jawbones?. Thats who carried out some of CT Plus`s maintenance/general repair work.
