A fair few Eclipes on the 219 and 229 today including 1112 also Enviros were on too including 1913. What happened to the "normal" buses normally on this route??

34613 noted on the 617/618 and 60768 on the 576 today. Yesterday I saw spectra 722 0n the 268 surely Arriva must have got enough enviro 400s to cover Sunday duties on this route

All the Enviro400s may have been blocked in at the two Heckmondwike sheds so a Spectra will have to been used instead.

There was a Spectra on the 268 to Bradford last night and an Enviro on the 220.... Arriva make no sense!
Also, not sure if misallocation or not - an H reg Scania on the X14 this morning.

UID Uni-link Olympian on the X84 Quite normal for that to happen during University time off. When do they brake up anyway was it last Friday or this friday.

I'm beginning to think Arriva, from Heckmondwike, at least, don't have a fixed allocation system. Perhaps they like to get most of the Enviro400s on the 268 and the Wright Eclipses on the 254/255 and then everything else is first come etc... I saw 1900 on the 220, along with an Eclipse and a DAF/Optare Spectra on the 254! 801 was on the 219 when I saw it in Leeds.

Had a ride on VDL commander 1414, it was on 202 to Huddersfield today. Nice sounding bus and the ride quality's ace. We need more of these buses.

Well there certainly won't be any more SB200s with Commander bodywork as Wrightbus no longer produce buses with the "classic" style of bodywork anymore. They may recieve some Pulsar 2s from the 2009 order. Who knows!

this may not be a misallocation, but an apparenntly I saw a weird FTR bus named 19033 YJO7 LVX in Leeds going down Beckett Street, near St James hospital, I could notice this wasn't the usual FTR bus , as it has a big first logo stuck down the left side. The bus was debranded and said sorry not in service. I thought this bus belong to Luton airport and their first bus FTR operation. mutlysfirstfots.fotopic.net/p54414295.html 19033 with luton airport branding

Maybe Bramley are bringing in that FTR to help bring the 4 up to standard so there won't be anymore mixtures of buses from Striders to Royales on the route

"Pride of Leeds" (one with leather seats) is rarely used and can be a back up if needed

Not a mis-allocation, but I saw santa driving an Arriva Yorks re-furbished ALX300 today!! I think it was 454, didn't catch the route. I bet the passengers where surprised when they got on.
I wonder if I will get the same surprise when I get on the 72 tommorow morning....

Noticed Transdev Keighley and District Renown 564 in Great Horton heading toward Bradford this afternoon out of service around 15.30. I have seen other K&D Renowns at the same time heading into Bradford usually on Thornton Road and displaying either not in service or works service
