I thought they had already been launched! So did I they have been in Service for a couple of weeks now I think it is linked to the thread on Arriva to name buses after Yorkshire Sayings www.arrivabus.co.uk/content.aspx?id=6553I believe Arriva intend to use Yorkshire Day, 1st August, to include the top ten sayings on these buses. Interesting in that the Arriva Marketing team appear unsure how many of these new buses they have, is it 16 or 17? |

On the rear of 254/255 & 268 buses we see: "Travel all day for just £4". Last night I saw on an Enviro200:
"Ey up it's t'283"
How long have these been scrolling along?

Think ALL enviros are programmed up to how these but only a handful display these at the front displays the route i.e Bradford 283 then under scrolls all the Yorkshire sayings then the rear displays Ey up it's 283. same for 281 and 282. sometimes ur lucky to see one saying this as most just have normal displays like Bradford 283 with vis Birkenshaw, East Brierley, Batley etc.

1061 is now back in service. Saw it today in Batley. Am I right in saying it doesn't have branding for the 281/282/283?

I think you are, I'm sure this was the one which missed out, bear in mind that the 281/2/3 network only require 16 of the 17 buses and Arriva only tend to brand the number required. |

Anyone know why 1061 was parked up in Wakefield bus Station this morning looking rather bight clean and shinny.
This bus is the none 281-2-3 route branded one and that which was out of Service for quite a while. It only returned to service in last couple of weeks, which would make it possibly the cleanest and tidiest of the batch

Arriva were using 1061 (Dewsbury bus) to promote the m-ticket in Wakefield.
Top Brass were there, Nigel Featham and Arriva UK MD Mike Cooper, there is a picture on page 7 of the Wakey Express.

Does anyone have a list of the names these actually carry? I don't think a list has ever been reported

they dont. It was just on the destination blind where the via points usually appear. Route number at rear had "Ey up t'is 281" and 282 and 283!! Not seen this for a while now
