The 662-branded ones frequently make appearances on the 717 to Oakworth and 719 to Bracken Bank too, as the services are inter-worked.

Is this on an Evening and Sunday only? If this interworking is the case, Transdev's standards are slipping...

The Skipton & Ilkley services are interworked and gets first pick of B7RLEs in standard livery, so generally the newest ones
The 717 & 719 are interworked and gets other B7RLEs, which will mean an odd one of the new ones and the ex-Coastliner ones
B7RLEs on the 760 is therefore not particularly regular and neither is the use of The Shuttle ones anywhere except the 662

K&D 662-branded B7 1802 on Oakworth/Bracken Bank services today, possibly a replacement for another bus though.
Does the Green Line route in Bradford (645) get a type of bus allocated, or is it anything goes? Also, is it the only Overground route in Bradford without route branding?

Green Line 645 is any guide wheel fitted B7TL or B9TL. With the Blue Line recently receiving branding then yes the Green Line is the only one left to do

With the Blue Line recently receiving branding then yes the Green Line is the only one left to do I'm almost certain it was mentioned earlier this year that 37055-8/60-62 would be branded for the Green Line. This, of course didn't happen but 7 new B9TL's (37360-6) have very recently arrived at Bowling Back Lane and it could be that these will be done instead.

Saw at least 1 but perhaps more J-YRM Olys on the Boston Spas today - a little older than 10 years...

Haven't we discussed that Alexander Royales are on Olympian chassis as well so it is an Olympian on the 96 regardless of body work on the bus. Well at least you managed to spell Royale correct for once, who is this manufacturer under the name of Alexandra you talk of? I have never heard of them before!

Saw 61086 K608HUG on 33 yesterday.
Also yesterday, I saw a Volvo Olympian Alexander Belfast on 33A unloading outside the town hall, on the way to the bus station. I thought the 33/33A went down Wellington Street, through City Square and up Park Lane to get onto the Headrow? or am I mistaken

Up King Street/East Parade and down Park Row would be correct, I assume that's what you meant. Were they being diverted up West Street/Park Lane/Westgate past the Town Hall?

The 15, 33/33A, 670 and 760 all go along King Street and East Parade onto the Headrow, they only go along Park Row towards Kirkstall.

Sorry about that, I meant Park Row instead of Park Lane.
I thought they went up King Street, onto Infirmary Street (where bus stops are) then onto Park Row to get to the Headrow. Thanks for clearing that up.

31147 YU52 VYZ was on the 42 - does this still have its guide wheels? None of the YU52*** ALX400s at Cherry Row have guidewheels fitted, it's generally accepted that these buses will be used on the 42, 51/51A and Wetherby routes.
