Yes we i think have four two for each (bramley & HP). Also while where on the subject i would love to know how and why HP is suffering from a vehicle shortage. It may get the best buses in leeds, but it is the one which suffers the most vehicles shortages. Isnt it about time someone did something about it. I guess it dosnt help with all the arctics going wired- and while where on that matter isnt it about time we got rid of those heap of metal crap and replaced them with the fresh B9TL'S Gemini or even B9TL ENVIRO 400'S.

The Scania Wright Solar demonstrator is now in Bradford! It was on the 607 Blue Line certainly a change from the B10BLEs

Brings back memories of going to work on the 607 and it being one of the wright axcess-ultralow Scanias (i think 8448 was one). Didn't stay in Bradford long, sadly.

No they Have'nt had the luggage racks removed as they are coming back to First Leeds very shortly. 66700 and 66701 are both in Halifax for some kind of special test that is taking place. Dont know what this test is for though.

I was driving out of Bradford depot on Friday 5/6/09 and noticed the buses below had all had their numbers and FIRST all obscured with purple paint,so it looks like the scrap heap for these then, 30691 30693 30699 Behind them were about six other buses but it was pi***ng it down so i wasn't stopping to note the others. I was also reading a staff memo inside that said 7 Volvo DD's entered service on 1/6/09 ,10 more DD's will enter service on 8/6/09 and 20 SD's to enter service in the near future. Question:- why have we got 37704 and 37734 but LEEDS have 37710 (i passed it on Thursday when i was driving the 670 and i think that was on the 38 at Kirkstall Morrisons) i thought we got buses in successive batch numbers.

The only reason I can think of is that Leeds has a more urgent need for this type of bus

I expect it will be sent away for repair and eventually returned to service.

It seems the 670 and 680 will become the next low floor routes as the ALX400s have moved onto these routes and two Volvo Olympians (30755 and 30783) were on school routes after the OWRs were scrapped, some K_LAEs were on the 670 however including 34617.

Not neccesarily, Doncaster, to use an example with B9's, has mid-372** series of 18 Gemini's, then oddball 37278. I won't go into the reason because thats irrelevant.
