I thought they were supposed to be for the 670. Unless someone knows otherwise, I think the 670 now interworks with the 680 at Bradford And both, despite what the First Bradford website may say are still mostly Leyland/Volvo Olympian worked

There was a Dart on the 1 to Holt Park last night at about 4.10pm in Leeds. It was severely overcrowded.

Jacksons of Silsden were using either SIL6306, a Concept bodied Merc Vario or SIL1654, a Ferqui bodied Vario instead of the usual Solo on the 903 Airedale Hospital - Addingham earlier.

I think the occasional ALX400 on the 42 or 51/51A has become the norm as the running boards simply states Volvo B7TL as allocated vehicle.

Also, what I had seen I thought was a bit wierd.
First operate the Cardinal Heenan L1 and L2 services right. There were three First buses compramising of an Alexander Royale, Wright Eclipse Urban and an ALX400. Does anybody know why this is?

The Wright Eclipse Urban would of been a duplicate for one of the services. As I think the case is now that pupils get allocated a space on a particular school bus and Metro no longer allow pupils to stand on school services. So one of the services must have more passengers than the decker can seat so the single decker is used as well.

Three, so that would mean two cherry row and one Hunslet.
I would imagine then that the Single duplicates the L1 service with Hunslet getting L2 to its self. Unless they make up another route for the single decker in which only certain amount of pupils get allocated and it takes both the L1/L2 routes.

It will be a duplicate, they can't just make up a route compramising of the two school routes as they will go to different places!

Not a misallocation, but I saw a Green Line liveried Wright single decker (from First Huddersfield I think) turning down towards the waste recycling centre in Birstall. Is this where the Volvo garage is?

Erm, Green Line branded Wright single decker, that will be from Halifax then. Yes, that will be going to Volvo which is in that area.
A Connecting Hemsworth 04 plate Commander was on the 126 today, this now has Hanover LED destination equipment fitted.

Two Hecky based DAF ALX300's were on the 255 and 268 today while one of the 255 branded B7RLEs was on the 256

That's normal as the 254/255 interworks with the 256

Post by jackh on Sept 12, 2008 21:24:24 GMT 1
The B7RLEs also stray onto the 220 as this also interworks with the 254 at Cleckheaton.
The 268 for now is technically operated by Optare Spectras so I suppose I could classify these as misallocations as 692 and 693 were on the route today.

Not really sure if this is a mis-allocation or not, but yesterday's 1710 Keighley-Leeds 760 service had Volvo B7/Wright 1847 on it.

^Normal.
K&D allocate the Presidents, Wright Single Low Floor Deckers and anything else that may be needed.

I saw that on the 760 at half past three yesterday going down Eastgate.
It's not normal on this route it's the Wright Renowns & Presidents not eclipse's.
