[FWY] New buses for Service 37, Leeds-Halton Moor

[jackh]

Haven't we discussed on here already that the 28 Wright Eclipse Urbans that are due for Leeds this year, 20 of them are for the Scott Halls, all of which I think are now here including the handfull that ended up getting diverted to be loaned to Eastern Counties and Somerset & Avon before arriving at Leeds. (69229/30/1 at EC, 69340 in Somerset & Avon?). So this leaves another eight Wright Eclipse Urbans for the 37, when are these due if ever?

Currently, the 37 uses 66995-98 (YJ07LWC-F) which should be on the 99/X98 to Wetherby and 69330/1/9 which should be used on the Scott Halls after returning, but haven't yet recieved their guide wheels. So once the illusive other eight B7RLEs arrive, will these buses go back to their intended routes.

Because really, shouldn't the 07 plate B7RLEs go back to the Wetherbys which they were intended for and use what ever spare bus is going at Cherry Row to be allocated to the 37, afterall, all the buses at Cherry Row are low floor so there isn't a problem with access issues etc.

Would make more sense to do that really. At the moment the 99/X98 seems to be using ALX400s most of the time.

I thought there was a change of plan along the way that said the Wetherbys would now be double deck worked?
