spot on, the volvos have a notice about it on them. It will also appear on 223 as its replacing the excel and was why the 16 plate solo came in as the excel gave up on life. The Excel's engine has been sounding as though it was on it's way out recently so not surprised. well surprisingly the doors and door control backed in first then everything else on arrival back at the yard. Plus every couple of round trips it would need more water.

New here is YJ66APZ in BL Travel livery and I think it's an Optare Metrocity, needs confirming. spot on, the volvos have a notice about it on them. It will also appear on 223 as its replacing the excel and was why the 16 plate solo came in as the excel gave up on life.

its a normal occurance and to add variety its occasionally a pulsar or an actual Gemini. ...... Or a very odd Sapphire! the 18:45 trip that is mentioned is a Dewsbury board not the Belle Isle one

Not sure if this is the normal allocation for this service but 1058 was on the late running 1845 127 Wakefield to Dewsbury its a normal occurance and to add variety its occasionally a pulsar or an actual Gemini.

Globe Holidays have Dart KX06LXH on loan from Dawson Rentals on the 96 / 97 today, it's replaced Cadet YJ55KZT which was on loan. Yeah I saw that an hour ago as its got the same wayfare machine as Arriva do.

Anyone know reason why Dewsbury 1053 ( E200 ) has been repainted into max livery yet others have just been repainted into interurban livery ? They have done 2 at belle Isle too being 1065 and 1066. Dewsbury have 1052 refurbished inside same as 1053 but an interurban repaint think you mean 1062 as 1052 still had fabric seat covers when I saw it on 282 yesterday teatime (18:20 to be exact).

Globe Holidays Setra coach TUI8707 on the 96 & 97 today. the coaches might be getting used if the 3 solos need work hence the possible reason why the 55 reg wright cadet/commander (whichever it is) has appeared with them

Busy day for Arriva's Presidents. Two in Wakefield Bus Station at 1230 today followed by 677 seen at Babes in the Wood pub 20 minutes later. Not sure what route it was working. 677 will have been on 117.

Even though Yorkshire tiger was fined nearly £22000 I find it amazing how buses are continuing to run early and late. In the past week I've noticed 3 of tigers routes and there only the routes I've travelled on and they were the 1710 737 turned up at 1740 on Wednesday the 526 today Sunday 1057 turned up at 1051! And the 526 1235 turned up at 1246! is this even necessary considering the fact there are roadworks on the route between Bradford interchange and L.B.I.A & the fact the buses are prone running late because of driver changeovers and vehicular problems.
