Firstly, do we know any news for 1461? I noticed that 3051 has been removed of bustimes. Does anyone know why? And the spare ticket machine has been running quite a lot recently it looks like for Castleford. Could this be one of the E400s? Finally, I noticed 1412 hasn't been running almost a month now and hasn't been tracked since 16th December. Anyone know anything about it? Sorry for so many questions 3051 is at optare for, I believe, gearbox issues

Lowlander 1603 is now at Waterloo. It's out on the 231/2/3 today. looks like there's a glitch on Bustimes as 261, 1312 & 1603 are all tracking for Tiger & Arriva when all 3 are still at Wakefield. Its 619, 620 and 1610 on loan to Waterloo from Elland which are tracking as the 3 Belle Isle vehicles

Are the grey fronted Streetdecks supposed to be for a certain service, as they seem to appear at random mixed with green ones across the 4, 15, 16, 42, 49 & 50/50A Grey is supposed to be 4 and 16 (Pudsey branding)

Metro are looking to be leaving it to the last moment again before telling the public details about multiple services changing in early January. The brief couple of sentences in the alerts section mention about an Arriva 467 service, is this a typo or an actual new service? NO timetables on the website yet, which is not good enough bearing in mind it's less than 2 weeks before the change date, and operators such as Rosso and Tiger have had the new timetables on their pages for a few days now. At the very least, if they really don't have enough time to knock up the timetables (I'm really sceptical that's the case lol), a simple link to the timetables page of the operators website would do. The 467 is a typo, it should read 476 as it is having some timetable changes to avoid being late with the J32 extension which hasn't been given enough time since it was extended

Interesting that buses on the X63 never seem to track, maybe something to do with the complications of it being run by Huddersfield and Bradford, so those X63 buses only seem to be shown running random trips on the 200 etc Also it seems BMC Condor 68693 does one journey on the 398 University shuttle every morning My local route X63 never tracks by any means, even on the first bus app, it shows the seat availability but not the location of the buses.

35600 is a grey Bramley streetdeck well when i saw it earlier it was in the blue Middleton livery like the 2/3/3a/12/13/13a 35600 is definitely grey, could it have been 35560 that you saw?

New service 85 surely would be better terminating in Otley? Where will this run also? Through holt park or Otley road? And half hourly or hourly? 85 is going to run every 90 minutes according to a post on Facebook that I saw

Apologies if I missed something amongst all the service and fleet changes which took place at the weekend, however, am I the only one who noticed that arriva have changed their timetables back to Monday to Friday during the week rather than the Saturday service as previous, like I've said apologies if it was said and I've missed it but I noticed yesterday morning when I saw 255 was running to the original pre-covid mon-fri times.

All being well the 2 Gemini’s from Hecky should arrive at Selby tomorrow with 1408 and 1411 going to Wakefield. The Evolutions are currently being repainted and will arrive before the end of the month. Does that mean 1980-1983 will also go to Castleford tomorrow?

Can confirm 1982 is also unbranded so its 1980-1983 which are to be transferred me thinks, also noticed 1101 has been unbranded of all its heckspress including both the side rear windows and the route branding in the advert frames, not seen 1100 and 1102/03 so not sure about those however it seems there is definitely going to be a lot of buses switching between depots.

Not entirely sure if I'm putting this in the correct place as there are a few places that I could put it however it is something that I spotted yesterday. I saw that both 1980 and 1981 have both been unbranded ready for transfer elsewhere, clearly unbranded and not panels swapped because you can see the outlines, presumably 1982 has been done too however I didn't see that one and 1983 is already unbranded although it does spend most of the time on 254/255. I hope we get something good on 255 as a replacement and can confirm that 1972-1979 are definitely still branded apart from 1976 on the offside where the panels have been swapped.

Apparently there is 262 on the 110 today judging by the diagram it's on, it's gonna last till 11pm tonight! Certainly NOT 262 as it has been VOR since Tuesday with problems. Presumably the ticketer is on another bus and not been reassigned to it ! Penfold I think it’s 1933 that has 262’s machine from a post on Facebook that I saw yesterday.

Third and final question - is the ex. Red Express 3602 (YC53 MXN) at Malton? some of the old Red Express & 36 geminis of which 3602 is one, have recently started at Keighley for Dalesway (66) route Its 3601, 3605 and 3606 which are at Keighley for Dalesway however I did notice 3602 on bus times on 843 today so it is a possibility that it could be at Malton and could have been one of the ”extra buses” that coastliner tweeted about to cope with the busy Yorkshire coast today. Edit: 3602 only did one return journey between Malton and Scarborough and according to bus times the ticket machine was last used on the X41 on the 24th March so judging by that it most likely is 3602 and was an extra to cope with the demand.

Sad to see the 737, 747 and 757 numbers going especially when they are types of Boeing aircraft which have always seemed very fitting with them being airport routes. Numerous times I have heard passengers talk about the fact that they use the same numbers as the aircraft.

UID Yorkshire Tiger Solo parked at Belle Isle. Is it replacing the Versa on the staff shuttle although Versa was running it yesterday? I think it’s 2807 which is still there parked up, it’s been there for quite a while now

I believe there’s both an X4 and an X16 starting either tomorrow or Tuesday, I’m not 100% sure that both are starting but I think they are.

The new routes, 1, 2 and 3 were registered on the bus registration site, I saw them and thought well that looks unusual, I can’t remember the exact date but I believe it was at the end of March when they were registered.
Edit: Having just checked the website, they were registered on the 13th of March, 1 to Thorne, 2 to Newport and 3 to Market Weighton.

Castleline still has 181 (service/route number) in the service details According to Vosa, it is just called Castle Line. There is no mention of '181' on the registration info, nor on the NYCC public transport pages, nor on the Transdev website. I believe it’s CAS on the bus stops in York, likewise ZAP for Cityzap
