It's been mentioned on first new repaints but Volvo B6 Crusaders 40565 and 40566 have arrived in Leeds from Manchester. 40565 is repainted in new colours in Bramley, 40566 is at Hunslet park in old barbie colours. I'm sure I've heard odd things about Manchesters crusaders, whether there not as reliable as the 51reg batch from York.

Seems 30239 has returned to Bramley as I got on her into Leeds on the 16 from Farsley yesterday morning.

If they are going on the 301/302 Golcar circulars, they should have ordered the Max version instead.

Yes, went back to the hire company a few weeks ago,all the slimline solos are on paper back in service now,but keeping them on the road is proving problematic! The final solo 50408 is presently being worked on,but when observed at Elmwood last week was minus its engine!

Read on another forum that 36274 has moved to Greater Manchester to fill in at Bury depot, after one of their B9s (37299) suffered an accident with a low bridge.

A recent arrival at HP for new MOT & repaint is Scania L113 60113, R879 HRF from First Manchester. It's understood this will be going to Bramley once it's completed.
In other news, Bramley's Royale 30790 is currently undergoing new MOT at HP, no immediate plans to replace this apparently! :-)

According to Flickr, 36274 is actually being used in the Manchester area for a training video. www.flickr.com/photos/81788292@N07/8741275646/

There are 2 extra buses in the afternoon peak I think. One starts about 4pm and one starts at about 5pm, both start from Halifax end and will usually be older double decks. At least the second one runs off schools.

I suppose it depends what the increase in PVR is. Some of them are as old if not older than the ones in Leeds so many wouldn't be for fleet replacement otherwise.

What I'm a bit puzzled about is why have we received 2 T reg B6s from Manchester, saw one the other evening on the 4A and it had loads of black smoke coming from the exhaust. Am I right in saying these have been banished from Manchester because of age rules? Pity Metro can't banish these from West Yorkshire because their an environmental mess and public health concern!
