1524 has been Maxed. Just seen it on the 225. Didn't look to be any route branding or spare bus branding on it though.

Huddersfield heritage liveried Royale 30843 is currently on the X63, seen at Odsal around 15:55 heading for Bradford What was odd about that one was that it was on the X63 at 7:30am this morning, so wasn't a middle of the day changeover. 30896 operating First's trips on the 256 this evening. I was surprised to see 30843 out at 07:20 this morning in Brighouse, they must be short at Huddersfield if it's been out all day on the X63.

The last one is the lesser of the evils. The 3rd one will look like hippies are living in it. Can't face seeing one with the Leeds Utd badge on.

Has anyone ever seen Trident LK03NKG. I've seen the other five on numerous occasions around Leeds, but never that one? Not seen that one either. Just NKS, NKU, NLC & GGJ. I believe they also have NLA, but that wasn't there on the last 2 occasions I have passed the depot.

We will end up with nothing UK owned. Give it a few years and everything will be made overseas as they gradually run down UK production. We are just becoming a warehouse for the world.

Odd allocating just 1 Gemini to Cas. Would have thought they would have sent another Lowlander. Or is it for a specific service?

Yes, one was on the BCB yesterday. All the Solos have been debranded, whether that is for repaint or disposal, I don't know, but they haven't been used for a couple of weeks now. ok thanks.

Do they still have Primos R333LOT & R444LOT?
I passed their depot the other week, the Bradford Solos were looking tired, at least 1 looked like the branding had been removed.

I rode a number of them on the X78 a few weeks ago. The longest run I did was Doncaster to sheffield. The interior was bright & comfy. I thought the vehicles seemed noisy with more vibration than I expected when travelling at slower speeds in low gears, once they accelerated & went up the gears they were smoother & quieter.

A Gemini (Unidentified) had broken down right in the middle of the Guided busway on Manchester Road (Bradford) this afternoon. There were at least 6 empty buses stuck behind it, as I doubt they can reverse down a guided bus lane. I wonder how long they were there as I only saw it when passing. If it needed a tow it wouldn't be easy reversing a recovery truck up the busway for a long distance.

The flooding at Arrow Coach Travel in Brighouse has apparently claimed 1 coach, which is expected to be a write off & left 2 others with electrical problems. I passed the depot the other day and one coach in the yard had a water mark along the side about 3ft from the ground.

Travel Xpress of Baildon have seen their depot flooded with the offices and garage destroyed. Two vehicles have also been lost. See @ctsbus on Twitter Arrow Coach Travel of Brighouse have also had their depot flooded. I assume the one washed down stream was a minibus!
