Saw Arriva Dennis Dart MPD 207 on the 0743 ex Bradford to Wakefield 425 service this morning. It was only nicely clear of the Interchange (bottom of A650 from Bradford) when I saw it and running about 35 minutes late. I reckon the weather might have something to do with it y'know.
Silly bus to put on such a route - 29 seater and it was absolutely packed!

I have seen that one in Headingley a couple of times. Was there any Rugby on yesterday at Headingley, perhaps a private hire to bring fans over.

Had the pleasure of travelling on Alexander bodied Dennis Dart 40613 this evening on the 13A! Got a surprise when it pulled up at the Corn Exchange. There was a B9TL Gemini behind it on the 12 but couldn't resist catching the Dart! Also a 53-plate (I think) Volvo B7RLE Wright Eclipse Urban on the 12 earlier.

FirstGroup B7TL Eclipse Gemini 32512 on the 570 to Halifax Theres usually at least one B7TL on the 570 on a Saturday, at least there has been this year (I worked in a shop it went past for 4 years until this september!) along with the Fxxx HYG Volvo olympians that are usually on there. If there isn't a B7TL it's usually a Volvo B10B strider in its place (Far better in my opinion  ). There have certainly been some interesting allocations since it switched from terminating in Sowerby Bridge! I think nearly every type of First Halifax bus has been on the route at somepoint now! |

Enviro 400 on 221 on Friday evening seen in Leeds and Morley. Another Enviro 400 heading down Gelderd Road on 229 saturday afternoon. My younger brother who is only 7 spotted a Darwen olympus on 117;D lol. The weirdest one yet today is a 1991 leyland olympian 30719 on 42 heading to fearnville.

These buses have been seen a couple of times over the past few months on the Westgate end of the Headrow dropping off passengers. I presume that it's an xmas shoppers special service that shoreline are running. |

Rigid vehicles are appearing on service 4 in York on a daily basis at present. This is due to various issues that have arisen with a few ftr's - 19003 had an engine fire in the depot to name one. Noted this morning were 60920 and 69004 (at least). They are being operated as two man.

Not sure how unusual it is but Eclipse Urban 66710 was on sevice 8 this evening. It is known for Wright Eclipses to be on the 8, its dependant on whats allocated to the 16s & 49s or it should be but no doubt they will have had some Striders or Scania Deckers on them. |

DAF/Optare Spectra 718 was on the 20:04 268 from Cleckheaton to Dewsbury this evening. This timing is one of the evening short workings aimed at collecting visitors to and from Dewsbury & District Hospital. This one finishes at Dewsbury then runs dead back to Heckmondwike garage I believe.

Talk about Totally Incorrect Allocation. I wouldn't of mind if it was not that blatant that it belonged on the Red/Blue Line routes. |
