It is circa 2 years since the Geminis (1508-1548) hit the road so it could that Belle Isle, Dewsbury and Heckmondwike are all into their respective Gemini MOT Programs One of the downsides of putting so many on the road within a short space of time ! Penfold True but a really good PR exercise at the time

Penfold One day there might and it's a really big might be a Marketing Company which has the slightest notion of how to run a bus company, lets face it are they even able to come up with a paint scheme which makes the simplest of panel replacement a straight forward task. Lets face it, it isn't rocket science to know which panels/sections on a bus are those which require regular replacement.

Are you sure 634 coz that's withdrawn? 639 once again seen heading towards Huddersfield on the 229 with 634 following immediately behind, again on 229. How can we have two buses on same service which are supposedly on a 30 minutes frequency? Duplicates? Hardly likely in this day and age. Are you sure it wasn't 654, W654 CWX Slip of the finger; it was 654, Alexander ALX400 bodied Volvo. Well, my mistake generated some response anyway, but no indication as to why two on 229 together.

There was an FTR Streetcar on the 72 yesterday so I assume it was this one.

I do think it's hard to believe, as when I last saw 19020 it was in Hunslet last week. 1) The 4 runs with the 4A, and the 4 isnt sutiable for an artic 2) it now has a reverse to contend with 3) All the old drivers are now on the 72 4) they were removed from that route for a reason

AY1100 sat with its bonnet up outside Asda on Dewsbury Road Wakefield this evening. A shame that the driver didnt think to put the hazard lights on whilst he was sat in the cab trying to read the newspaper in the dark. They were on 20 mins later though.

For the third day this week and seen running into Huddersfield together, are two buses on the 229, namely Spectra 639 and Lowlander 1613. What is going on?

They are seen passing Syngenta on their way to Huddersfield (and both carrying good loads) at around 08:40. How many operators run duplicates these days?
Volvo/Wright 1104 on 268 today with an Enviro200 on the 282.
