It (1452) was parked in Belle Isle yard this evening next to 1451. Neither are displaying tax disc's as yet. Penfold Is any route branding applied to them yet? Didnt notice any on them but it was dark and they were parked next to other buses Penfold

They are fantastic however they'd look better if the white cowhorn part was lower.

spotted 1453 today whilst on my travels, think it was on service 126. what struck me was how much better they look in the flesh, than on photo. the (now standard) interurban livery suits these pulsars well. Are they going to receive route branding for 126/7 ?.

Are they going to receive route branding for 126/7 ?. If Arriva are true to type they should only apply route branding to 3 of the 4 since that's the number Belle Isle require for 126/7. Dewsbury have recently branded 1413 since it was repainted so one would assume that sufficent transfers were ordered at the time.

Had a ride on one tonight, seem identical noise to the commanders, lots of Blue lights at front and strong smell of plastic. Seem a bit boring to me, the sound reminds me of a BMC MyBus. Got a nice night pic here www.flickr.com/photos/thrashmerchant/4116243236/

Seeing 1450 in Leeds is no different than seeing 1906 & 1913 the unbranded Enviro 400's appear in Leeds.

Though why order only 4 of these buses just for Belle Isle, it would be better if they ordered at least 10 for the whole route. 5 from Dewsbury/5 from Belle Isle. The commanders could replace routes where ALX300's are still prominent e.g. 444/446.
