Are the Enviro 400 been tested on other Heckmondwike Routes such as the 219/229?
Will we possibly see Arriva by more Enviro 400 in the not to near future for other depots across the west Yorkshire region? I think they could work well on the 202/203 routes, 410, 189 not to mention others

I too think that the Enviro 400's are pretty impressive and a great improvement previous buses on the 268. One little niggle about Arriva though; why do they go from Dewsbury to Bradford via Cleckheaton and Heckmondwike? Surley it is not beyond the bounds of possibility to programme the destination screen to show Heckmondwike first. The 202 and 202 change the direction of intermediate places, why can't the 268?

The Enviro400s are excellent! Am glad Arriva got Tridents instead of B9TLs as well. As for ordering more, they would be great on the 202/203 as well as the 110. Keep em' coming!

It seems people are never happy. Arriva Yorkshire buying any new buses at all is a novelty compared to recent years, now you want the whole fleet replaced!

I have heard from a Castleford Driver that due to the sucess of the Tempo on loan. Arriva have now ordered some Tempos that should arrive sometime next year.

This is what a driver said and so did a few more other drivers. Maybe true or maybe false?

I'm sure I just saw one with Mr Strong or some other red character up on the front window. It was from a distance, so someone could have propped a red bag up against the window, but I think it was a Mr Man.

1912 is sporting a cartoon image like 1900, but I didn't notice a name when I travelled on it today.

Seen a Mr that is blue with a hat and sort of shaped like a bean. Not sure what his name is. Also seen Mr Topsy Turvey (the brown one with upside down hat). I think Mr Daydream is also there (blue cloud shaped one). Not seen Mr Messy, Mr Lazy or Mr Bump.... perhaps these do not reflect the corporate image!

Have seen quite a few of these with the Mr Men branding and am pretty impressed with them so far.

They are not as tacky as some thought. A small Mr or Little Miss in front window upstairs look brilliant not so much in way of view but not so sure about the side ones looks a little out of place but still better. Least Arriva have a bit of fun with these.

Damn no bad names for us to laugh at. Mr Happy will be a poor description of a driver. Mr Busy & Mr Rush will be the most relevant!

If they were all to be named after the drivers, we'd have 14 buses named Mr Rude running around the Spen Valley...

If they were named after passengers they would be called mr moaner and mrs whinge
