Does anyone know why TLC have never shown details of their Huddersfield services on their website. All the other services are shown. Seems strange. I've asked the driver of the 902, that I caught, this morning. There was nobody in charge of updating the website, but, that's now about to change. They're in the process of completely updating the website, now, that somebody has been put in charge of Social Media and Website. It won't be updated overnight!!

There is no 1940 303 to Scapegoat Hill, there's an 1830, 2040 & 2240, so would guess that it's actually the 2040 departure from Huddersfield.

what is their thing with doing messy gaffer tape repairs, and when they replace panels they're always black (and they never seem to paint them to match)

On the many occasions I have travelled on TLC buses in the Huddersfield area I have never seen gaffer tape repairs. The buses are always smart, clean and the drivers very polite. I can't agree with your observations.

You should see the Enviro 200s in Bradford, they look like they've been thrashed around the city flic.kr/p/FdnymYflic.kr/p/RfUUTbflic.kr/p/RvztAxThey get away with it though because they aren't an operator that it has been decided to start a witch hunt against.

Sorry but I don't get to Bradford that often and then only to have a decent curry but TLC in Huddersfield and on the odd visit to Hebden Bridge cannot be faulted.

I must admit, and I hope I'm wrong, but I'm starting to worry a bit about TLC, in the early days when they took over the Shipley locals their buses were always immaculate and in full fleet livery. These days as mentioned above most of the fleet seems to have been patched up in some way, and most of these aren't that old having been replaced not too long ago. The amount of vehicles running around in dealer white, albeit with TLC fleetnames applied, also seems to have increased significantly. I've always associated this with the beginnings of the potential downfall of a company.
That all said, the service still appears to be reliable, I tend to see the same workings every day in the same place at the same time so maybe it's just a case of making sure a bus runs against making it look pretty. That after all is the most important thing if you can't have both.

Metal body work will come in steel sheet. There will be times, where they've repaired one vehicle, only for another one to be off for repair, so, no time to paint the panel? I have it on good authority, that accident damaged solo 91242, is at Optare for damage assessment and has apparently got £10,000 of damage.

I know the Enviro's working in Keighley tend to get a bit beaten up. There's the left turn off Park Lane onto Parkwood Street on the 708 (outbound) that catches the rear left corner and the turn off Skipton Road onto Mornington Street used to catch the front corner on the 716 (outbound), although I have seen the 716 (inbound) use Scott Street instead of Mornington St, but unsure as to if that's to avoid Mornington St due to damaging the bus or just that it's a pain to turn right out of.
As Dennis states above though, there will be times where it's just impossible to take a vehicle off the road for repairs as others are already out of use for varying reasons.
One thing i'll add, although a black front corner panel doesn't look great, it is better than a ton of duct tape and certainly better than no bus at all.

YD63 UZE (90436) & KX15 BLK (91043) Does anyone else think that the seats on their Solos are rock-hard or is that just me?

The two Solo's could be covering warranty work on previously delivered Optare vehicles. Not an unknown occurrence.

Is it me, or has anyone else noticed that as soon as the Yorkshire Tiger bashing was clamped down on, this all started up? Now to be fair, I've had a dig or three at the owner of an operator on here recently but I have my good reasons which, as I am on my best behaviour, I won't put on here.

The two mentioned above, and an Enviro 200, running out of Bradford depot, also in white, are rented off Dawson Rentals. If you look in the window in front of the door, there's an A4 piece of paper, with the TLC legal details on. KX15 BLK has been on long term hire, since they took over the Hebden Bridge route, May 2016.
I'm sure TLC would welcome an extra pair of hands to repair all the accident damage and repaint the black panels, that haven't been painted yet.

E200 13970 is now running around in plain white, having previously worn TLC fleetnames and fleet number, I assume therefore it's about to leave the fleet.

On Metro Website, under Scheduled Disruption, from May 30th to July 21, the 901/2 will be operating to a temporary timetable, due to a water main being replaced between Stainland and Barkisland.
M-F they will depart Huddersfield 0910, 1020, 1130, 1240, 1350, 1510, 1610, 1710 Sat 0900, 1010, 1120, 1230, 1340, 1510 Sun 1010, 1225, 1510

The 653 route will be withdrawn after 21/07/17. Commercially operating after earlier running two journeys a day with some extensions of the 649 local service, it has not attracted enough passengers to continue.

Even if they didn't put in this temporary timetable, with the diversion it's going on, again (Stainland - Barkisland via Greetland), I reckon, passengers would still miss the B3, cos the last time they went on this diversion, (a few weeks ago), dependant on traffic, they arrived on average 10 minutes late.
