Anyone know which School Services First Leeds operate from which depots?
Are the majority generally operated from Bramley?

I think all the services are from Bramley, since they have all the condor mybuses. I'm fairly sure that neither of the other depots run school serivces, as all school buses have to have seat belts now (do they?) I dont know any routes or schools though

Bramley depot runs the majority of "non MyBus" routes, however Kirkstall and Cherry Row do operate school routes as well and the buses used then on evening services.

The schools operated at bramley, are the B01-18(Boston Spa), L11(West Leeds), L14(Leeds Boys Grammar), L17(Abbey Grange),L27(Bempton Park), L38(Lawnswood) and R61-65(Rossett). The other garages i'm not sure about.

Turns out that school buses aren't required to have seat belts, its not the law. It is law that the're worn if installed, because I was thinking that only belted buses can do school runs. Do Keighley & District's yellow Olympians have seat belts? I know some have coach seating, I think they would be better on normal services really.

A London based firm called CT Plus operate many of the MyBuses. They have a depot on Gelderd Road near Armley Gyratory.

That's not that many really is it I suppose Geldards have a lot of the double deck work these days, and a lot of services are now MyBus and operated by CT Plus Anyone know any of Kirkstall Road or Cherry Row's?

I think more and more school services in Leeds are operated by independent companies. I know Geldards, Godsons, Fourways, Independent, J&B Travel, Hunters, CT Plus, Dewhirst and probably many others operate school runs. First Leeds don't operate as many as they used to, First Bradford probably has the most school runs out of First West Yorkshire (or does anyone know otherwise).

Kirkstall operate the following schools:-
L01 Cardinal Heenan -> Spencer Place (Volvo Olympian Dual Door) L02 Cardinal Heenan -> Oakwood (Volvo B7TL) L07 Prince Henry's -> Victoria Road/Cardigan Road, Leeds (Volvo Olympian Royale) L08 Prince Henry's -> Leeds Park Row (Volvo Olympian Royale) L09 Roundhay School -> Seacroft (Any DD) L15 Abbey Grange -> Scott Hall (Any DD) L16 Abbey Grange -> (Not sure of this one!!) (Any DD) L25 Benton Park -> Rodley (Volvo Olympian Royale) L35 Abbey Grange -> Adel (Volvo Olympian Royale)
I think that I have got these right, but I don't do schools too often, so these are as best as I can remember. Have also put on the usual bus type as well.

Which school service finishes at Spen Lane, carrying the rather amusing destination of Hark to Rover?

Spen Lane is in cleckheaton so it will be Arriva Yorkshire West (Heckmondwike).
