Yes I believe about £7,000 but it was cheaper than buying a new bus. Can i just ask Matty, has it been updated to meet new DDA reg's so can be left in fleet once the dead line comes in? Think they are DDA compliant anyway. Just side & rear destinations & signage etc. that needs doing |

2 Tridents coming to Leeds for new uni services. One should be 893, one from another part of the Centrebus empire....

Does anyone know why some of Huddersfield Bus Companys go green Centros are haveing the branding removed from the windows so far its only happend to 719 and 722 I'd love to say it's because they have realised people would like to see out of the window, but that's probably not the case ;D |

I thought they might have replaced the windows at first but it seems a bit strange that its happend to 2 of them at the same time I'd love to say it's because they have realised people would like to see out of the window, but that's probably not the case ;D You can see out of the windows through the branding, well sort of  |

The Centro's are now at over four years old, Could it be they're due a make-over and are getting ready for repainting into the standard orange/white & blue colours?. When they first entered service they were used almost exclusively on the 80's (Dearne Valley) corridor group of services, Hence the high profile Go-Green livery. However, now they operate on any route out of Waterloo. Just my little idea. (Probably wrong, as usual).

Thats been at Waterloo about 6 months now, slowly getting fixed ready for service.
The ASDA Killingbeck contract has been taken over by Leeds (I think) and only happened in the last few days.
