At Bramley, only 61101 of the K-HUG batch is left in service. But of the non Wright bodied Scania's, only 10 remain in service at Bramley, 9 N113's and 61134. . What about the now four L113CRL Alexander Striders? At the moment, these are still in service, Bramley now have 61048/9. These were transferred at the weekend.

At least this will be in alot better condition than the heap of crap currently used. Also like somebody has already said, they didn't come from Leeds they came from the Manchester 8 Service.

I wonder if there heading to Bramley
I thought they were due a few extra low floor double deck vehicles for the 16/16A 40/40A, 49 & 50/50A routes so that they can make the allocations Low floor easy accessible after the withdrawal of the Scania Striders and Volvo Olympians.

I have just looked at the photos of the 37686-37702 batch and was surprised by the reg no for 37698 YJ09 OAP as normally the DVLA keeps back number plate that spell out words and names or are well known initials such as OAP. Anyway this bus would be at home carrying advertising promoting free travel for pensioners!

They have been diverted from Manchester I believe this batch that has just arrived. Probably down to the failed bid for the TIF package.

But could still save the drivers life if the bus is involved in a serious accident. Even though a bus doesn't go as fast, the forces involved are much greater than that of a car.

Are they on the drivers seat only? With what was said i thought it was on all seats. I agree that they should be offered to drivers, afterall it is the law for PSV drivers to wear their seatbelts on the continent.

The Yellow school buses have seatbelts fitted to the drivers seat. (And obviously passenger seats too).

Alot of money has been pumped into Bramley recently, its been a while since they got new buses (excl. FTRs) and i'm glad they're getting it, Bramley for me became the depot where buses went to see out the end of their lives and you can never anticipate what type of bus you're going to get on the 16/49/50.

At a guess i'd say the Hunslet ones are for the 33/33A and 96. Bramley either the 16 or 40.
