Not 100% certain but think it's been to Rotherham for repairing after it's fire.

I'm told that 30958 is/has been rebuilt following it's fire and is close to returning to service.

I can't recall any of the 2004 batch of Geminis being moved to Hunslet Park or the 49 being run from HP for that matter. Probably just a loan due to downtime of other vehicles. I think this will have been a Bramley driver covering Hunslet Park work due to a staff shortage. Have seen 49 branded buses on Unilink in the past for the same reason. Yes, the bus was 32470. It was on 95 in the morning/early afternoon then it moved on to 28/96 by late afternoon. By 19:00 32455 had appeared on the 95.

The new Eclipse 2 is registered YJ09 PBF. It's also named 'Fearless Freddie'!.

Looks like a further shuffle round from the 24th May when Bramley's new B9TL's enter service.
Was late last night/early this morning when I was told so didn't make a note of numbers but basically it's more Royales out to Halifax & Hudds. Also B7TL's from Bram to HP & some of the earlier B7TL transferred from HP to Bradford.
If anybody wants shots of 30786-90 in Leeds i'd get them today!

Has anyone noticed, some B6BLE Wright Crusaders in Leeds. I saw two yesterday , Including 40577 on the 62 around 7:00pm yesterday. I'm guessing these have come from york to replace the First Leeds Darts. Yes they have. This was mentioned a while back in the Dennis Dart thread in the First fleet news section but a quick resume is that 40575-579/587 are now at Hunslet Park.

Is it me, or have we aquired a Royal (maybe more) from Rock Ferry, Merseyside? I only ask because I saw a Royal in Hunslet with an advert for a Liverpool event on the back. No, it's just a couple of Leeds Royales advertising the 'Liverpool Exhibition of Contemporary Art'. 30839 is one of them, can't remember the other.

The thread title is probably not relevant for this piece of news but I've used it for convenience. Apparantly, according to paint shop staff at Hunslet Park no further examples of the ex-York artics are going to be repainted leaving just 10038/42 as the only ones done. Not sure what's happening but will try and find out unless anybody else knows more on this. 10039 has now been painted & should be in service. Seems now that the remainder will eventually be done but not in any hurry to complete them.

Hi all, i have the info of what is left of the Scania N113CRB/Alexander Strider saloons in use at Leeds. All have been withdrawn from service now except the following which are still in use today in passenger service: 61103 8623, 61112 8634, 61114 8636, 61115 8637, 61116 8638, 61117 8639, 61119 8641, 61120 8642, 61121 8643, 61123 8645, 61124 8646, 61125 8647, 61127 8649, 61128 8650. Also 61126, its out today on service 8. I'm almost certain 61127 came off the same time as 61122. 61128 is on 91A today, a welcome sight (to me anyway!) amongst the recent influx of L113's & L94's.

Can someone please tell me when these will finally be scrapped? was on 40622 on the 46 this morning and ive never been on such a sluggish and slow bus. Looks like your wish will finally happen! I've been told that all Leeds Darts will be off by the end of this week. To partly replace them at least six Volvo B6 have been transferred to Leeds from York today. Don't blame me though if they're not all off by the weekend, it's just what I was told in the depot today. Sorry to falsely raise your hopes. It looks like these are going to go on a bit longer. In fact. if you go out for a ride on the 62 today you can enjoy (!!) the delights of 40609.

32509-32513 were expected to be transferred to Hudds over the weekend.
Think Halifax are getting a mixed bag of Darts in exchange.

Yes, they must be these that are just entering service numbered 69412 upwards which are extra to the original 23.
However, those in service so far appear to be at Cherry Row.

A few more have now been withdrawn but I don't have a confirmed list yet. Looks like there's only 2 or possibly 3 K-reg left.
Anybody else able to supply any info? I won't get chance to update 'til next week?
Wright L113CRL 61059/062 (at least) have been working from Bramley recently but again not sure how many are being transferred. With the new B7RLE's now being delivered to CR it could well be that the whole batch to 61078 are moving which of course would 'see off' more Striders.

Why doesn't First brand the 96, now it has new buses for this route? Looks like First are now branding for the 96, seen a Gemini this morning branded in same style as the recent 56 branding. Unfortunately I did not get vehicle ID. 37676 is one of them.

No, i'm afraid Leeds no longer has any Leyland Olympians.
The last two 30713/720 were withdrawn on 17/3 (along with the last three Scania 'deckers) when the last 5 ex-London Olympians were released by HP and moved to Bramley.

the 2004 Eclipse Geminis seem plain, as if they're preparing them for branding. I was informed by paintshop staff earlier in the year that some of these were going to receive branding for the new 40/40A but.............?

36930 was out on Monday this week on the 49. Think it was on board 4931 as I saw it coming down from Monkswood on the 17:09.
Could well have been it's last day.

Hunslet Pk only have 2 of the K-HUG's in service..61084/088. They also had 61103 but I have been told today it 's off although I havn't confirmed it yet.
