Didn't know "Pride Of Leeds" bus had leather seats thought they all had the same seats. How did this bus get leather seats? Also I'm sure this bus is called "Spirit Of Leeds" or am I wrong? ??

It is named Spirit of Leeds - and does it really have leather seats?
If the upcoming timetable changes are partly to extend running times to improve reliability, could Leeds have acquired the Luton Airport StreetCar to boost the fleet for this purpose?

Well yeah it is spirit of leeds, but it does have leather seats well where the fabric on the usual seats is leather. Ive only had the pleasure once, take it none of the others have had same. Its a nice ride but should be out more.

^This is used as a backup, had this discussion with jack the other week when i saw a Volvo B7TL and a Volvo Royale parked up.
It can also be used when they get a sudden flow of passangers such as peaks (ie when the first 4 coaches arrive and depart)

I was surprised today when as I was finishing work I looked out of the window and saw none other than 202 T127OAH, a Lancashire United Wright Renown on the 770! It had Transdev Harrogate and District fleetnames, so may be on loan.

Ex-Scania Black Princes are out in full force today on the 97, X84(change from the strider) and 1.
Also are Bradford having a real problem with low floor buses at the moment, as the 610 combination seem to be any low floor you can get from a ALX400 to a Volvo B7RLE new ones. Also i thought 624 was supposed to be low floor must be me as i saw 2 Volvo Olympians on that route.

The flolines are a regular occurance on the 88 nowadays, same goes for the 91 which i think is nearing 75% low floor buses

Happens a lot in the school holidays as the use the opportunity to maintain the low floor buses when PVR is lower The 610-614 group is always a mix of all types of low floor buses

69272 was on the X6 today 40636 on 549 Seems a daft idea to stick a single decker on a route that clearly require deckers on what appears to be the busiest shopping day of the year!
