they would have to go back to WR's green & cream or YW's red & cream or even have the fleet painted gold. Woollen buses weren't Red and Cream, that was for the old West Riding buses used on their old Tram routes, Woollen buses were Maroon and Cream

Is that why theres a pic of AY 199 in this livery and it showscthis livery a lot in pics on google?!?!?!? We will just have to agree to disagree on this one Woollen to me is pre Caldaire Holding, when they used red it just plain old Yorkshire Buses, Woollen was no more

yesterday Saw Square Pegs newly acquired Ex arriva yorkshire Spectra T636 EUB on it's starting point school Route SP3 in Burmantofts
I do remember one of the Dewsbury ALX200s AY199 got painted in a Maroon Variation as a special livery a few years ago. Seems like a pre National bus company livery. Which the buses acquired a more dark red and less cream colour. ( I'm no expert on dewsbury bus history)
Though some of the early batch of the ALX200 had come in a Yorkshire buses livery.

Transdev Keighley have tweeted this
“@keighleybus: Apologies, Service 760 – 14:55 from Keighley and 17:10 from Leeds will unfortunately not be low floor due to operational difficulties.”
Presumably this means an Olympian has been used on the 760 this afternoon, which is quite rare

Anyone know what the Leeds royale is on today. Wanna go try and find it!! Sent from my GT-N7100 using proboards Sorry, only just seen this but as mentioned above it was on 50 today. It was out all day and did the 17:05 50A off eastgate but I think it runs in from Seacroft at 17:40. If you have a smartphone an easy way of tracking where it is is to use Metro's bus tracker, just do the advanced search and pick a few stops from all the obvious routes, 4,16,49/50 and if its out its easily spotted because its the only First vehicle in Leeds that shows up as Non LF. I've usually located which route its on in a matter of minutes by using this method. Of course if for whatever reason its not showing real time it won't be picked up but it generally is each time I track it.

Thanks to all guys regarding the Royale. Finally spotted it twice! Turns out it went thru Leeds centre few minutes before my 229 arrived so missed it by minutes. Then stood on the corner of New York Street so could see it on either 4,16,40,49,50. After confirming from here that was on the 50 was then easier for us. Went to Headrow and captured it at the bus stop then an hour and bit later captured at bottom of Eastgate. My task was successful. Thanks again for the info guys. Get this bus while u can.
