Still cannot get their act together with blinds for the 963 - last night for example a vehicle with digital blind was in use with the blind reading Metro Local and the compulsory (for the 963) paper label in the windscreen.

Nearly a month since the changes and still TLC's website is 'under construction'. Been like this for about 6 weeks now. Must still be working on an improved website to take into account the new services in Bradford, Shipley and Keighley.

Must still be working on an improved website to take into account the new services in Bradford, Shipley and Keighley. With this expansion in TLC operations, do any new 12-reg Enviro 200s run any routes on Sundays or Bank Holidays? I am concerned that they might only do backstreet Mon-Sat daytime routes.

There are 3 journeys on service 708 (Keighley - Riddlesden) that are Enviro run. Think the 917/918 is Solo operated.
In Bradford, the 656-659 group has a Sunday service which could be Enviro run, but as these were operated by First previously using Solo's, they may use Solo's too.

Thanks Tim! With this Bradford service being hourly on Sundays, and the 708 timetable clear, it should be easy to track one down if I do come to the area on the August Bank Holiday.

Last bank holiday the enviro did all the trips on Riddlesden, laying over between as apparently the boss wanted a new bus on. This last bank holiday the 1235 was enviro with the 1435.1635 using the solo from the 916 of which is in use at 1235.

I have seen on the Metro website that TLC have also taken over routes 915-18 in the Keighley/ Haworth area from Tyrer Bus. Do these use new or leased buses?

Using 10 plate Mini Solos Thanks, it was a mini Solo I rode on route 918 on Easter Monday last year, so it is inevitable that similar buses are needed now.

Looks like TLC travel are expanding. They have increased authorisation at Linton Street to 32 vehicles and have added a new operating centre at Walker & Holmes on Linton street for 12 vehicles.

TLC seem willing to take on any backstreet route that First dumps. So this could increase their presence around Bradford or even Halifax if CentreBus are not interested in any more ex-First routes.

Likely to be a back dated or late notification of the influx of new vehicles that were introduced in April, as TLC Travel already now have about 37 vehicles.

I don't think it's been reported on here but 1345, MX54KXW, moved to Esk Valley earlier this summer.

An extra bus will be required when the 259 replaces the ML2/ML3 services.
Maybe the 2 MetroLocal buses that previously operated with Mount Taxis will turn up here, those two Solos haven't been seen since the ML4/ML6 were withdrawn have they?

I dont know what to think of that. Looks like its been driven into a wall and squished the front up. A massively impressive bus from the front and to see it is about 3 foot long? A bit of an anti-climax really!
