Saw a PVS wrecker in the yard this morning, with the dart on the back. awh that's a shame, sounds like it's off to Barnsley. I was hoping to try and get a ride on that in the April hols, last time I got on a dart was the old Darts that Keighley Bus Company used to run a while back

Are these buses being repainted? Yorkshire buses has confirmed that there are repaints going on and I have had a look at vehicles which have not been seen for a while and the Streetlite, the Centro and the ex Go North West eclipse.

Streetlite and Centro are still about, though not sure if the Centro is waiting for repairs. Not sure on the Eclipse, see 1 or 2 in the yard but never spend enough time by the yard

Quick fleet update
X511 WRG and KX58 BJE both now gone from fleet both scrapped
PL06 RYO off to re-panel and repaint next week
YN56 NVF awaiting an overall ad which has been delayed hence no repaint
MX05 CJV up for sale as we are to standardise on Scania for our big bus requirement
CC11 Bus awaiting parts from Mercedes which are on back order
ODZ 4910 now with Kilvington of Leeds (PL06 RYO) came the other way as they needed a decker and we need a single which by bonus happened to be a Scania!
Two replacement DB300 Gemini 2 double decks are currently awaited delayed due to single door conversions and shortage of test dates but on course for mid May, this will see the sale of LX03 BYL hence no repaint.

Oh interesting thanks for the fleet update, I can see why you're moving to standardise as until now the fleet has been quite a varied mix of buses, which I imagine can probably be a bit of a pain to source parts for due to the differing manufacturers. For me it is a shame to see a few of the buses go, such as the centro and dart, at least personally from an enthuisast point of view, as there's not many of them left now. Although I understand why they've had to go. Just a question out of curiosity, if you're able to answer, do you happen to know why the company has chosen to standardise with Scania and VDL/DAF over others such as Volvo or ADL?

The Scania vehicles have proved themselves very reliable and well built on the Omnicity body so that's our preferred choice for larger buses currently.

Possibly the 61 been extended to Whiterose ctr to interwork with 9, so make the driver change over easier.
Or 508 replacement route between Farsley & Kirkstall into Leeds?

Connexions' Scania L94UB/Wright Solar YN05 GXB has reappeared in the fleet though whether it is loaned or permanent is unknown - it is in unbranded Super13 livery. A red Volvo B7TL/Plaxton President (LR52 BOV) has also appeared on fleet, was on service 9 yesterday and 29 today. This bus was noted on Metrolink replacements in Greater Manchester two weeks ago being used by City Transport supposedly.

I've noticed CC11 BUS has been out on the 29 the last few days, so presumably has received its awaited parts...?
