It'll be good to see the Spectra branded again.

Are they going to Route brand all 8 of Heckmondwikes Spectras or just the 7 which are required to operate the 229 for most of the day?

They probably haven't allocated them to the 229 straight away.
+ I've heard that a President has now been branded, does anybody know if is true?

I saw 721 today in this "new" branding looks ok says 229 going up your way every 30 mins. Branding IS small under the windows but looks rather strange as only the nearside has been done and nothing on the offside. Noticed this on a couple of other Spectras. Think they may get done up soon like Arriva normally do just do the important parts then finishing touches later!

The tempos only have the rear semi circle on one side IIRC.

The Lowlanders at Dewsbury had their rear red half circles removed over a year ago Sorry I didnt explain properly!! I meant the Route branding along the sides under the windows (or above on single decks) as most buses have this on Both sides. Sorry for any confusions! I know the BIG semi-circle only appear on the nearsides. |

so far most buses on this route have been Spetras during these times. Just an odd "other" bus like an ALX300 or and odd President or Enviro on a morning or peak time but most of the time been Spetras. I see all the buses going past my work every day at McDonalds Drive Thru at Birstall shoppng park!!!!!

Saturdays usually throws up the most interesting mix resulting from Heckmondwike have a couple more spare Enviro400's with the slightly reduced 268 frequency. Last Saturday, I noticed a couple of ALX300 on 229 |
