Why was it so far from its home ? Penfold Apparently been to Queensbridge for an engine overhaul. Queensbridge as far as I know don't normally accommodate buses. As I have been there for work experience in 2011. They normally collect said engines in one of their company vans. But then again where said vans were parked there is enough to fit a couple of buses but then they don't have any jacks.

I'm only going off what I was told by a member of First staff - this and another had apparently gone together.

AY 167 on 189, 637 on 220, 653 on 229, 1055 back on the 282 and 1108 seeing duties on the 268. As I indicated on the Fleet Changes thread, I feel sure I saw 205 working the 205.

It's hardly a misallocation for an Eclipse to appear on the 268 these days, as it happens every weekday without fail. The same goes for E200's on the 281/282/283. 1413 was on the 203 this evening.

The Eclipses on the 268 and Enviros on the 281/2/3 might be a daily occurrence, but they are still not the correct type allocated to those routes - or are they if positioning problems are to the fore? Today saw 209 & 1451 on the 212, with 1055 on the 282. Yesterday, new Enviro200, 1024 was seen on school service 651 in Batley showing Shaw Cross as it's destination. It was going an odd way as it was travelling up Batley Field Hill towards Morley. About five minutes later it was heading along Bradford Road to Batley bus station, I presume to take up a duty on the 119/120 to Wakefield.

Arriva Castleford only have branded buses for 163/6 and outside of that route almost anything goes except the specific single deck routes so seeing Dart 167 or even an MPD/Enviro 200 on the 189 would not be unexpected

To be honest though, nothing is a misallocation with Arriva as branding counts for nothing.

Hardly think that is true, how many buses are correctly branded and allocated every day?, all except the 1 or 2 posted here.
