There were quite a few of Bradford's Streetlites out on Sunday, 63277/280/282 on 636/637 and a few more on 621. Noticed 63280 just carries the name 'Singh' on the front and not 'Satnam Singh' as detailed in the T & A article. 63287 not carrying any name today. None of those on 636 were able to clear the turning circle at Clayton in one manoeuvre, each had to reverse at least once, not sure if this happens with the other stock, it's years since I've been to Clayton until today. Turning circle at Clayton was incorporated into a mini roundabout a few years back

Yea, I should have said mini roundabout at The Avenue terminus.

There was a proposal years ago to divert the 637 via Clayton Lane (residents don't want it) so there would be no need for a turning circle. The old turning circle at Duckworth Lane was also quite tight for the double door Atlanteans.

Every time I went past it there was always a Scania/MCW Metropolian in there

In another post elsewhere on this forum, it states that First West Yorkshire are due to receive 37 vehicles, which will be split between 3 First depots: Hunslet, Bramley and Bradford, yet, somehow, your figures total 37, just for the Leeds depots???

That's what I thought, surely Bramley can't be getting 27! My guess is maybe 10 at Bradford, 12 at Hunslet and 15 at Bramley.

Finally some new buses for the X6 in a special livery as it should have. Hopefully a higher spec interior as well.

35232 is on Leeds Buses Facebook page, in the darker blue livery like SY's route X78. The post suggests it is for Bradford depot and the X6.

I hope there's USB sockets on these new buses for the high profile routes because if not First in a way would be falling behind Arriva's MAX and Sapphire with Transdev's 36, but that's just my own opinion.

There needed as Bramley have around 40 04 reg Geminis/alxs400 b7tls I can see the older alx400s going but the 04 plate geminis may get cascaded as there is still a lot of royales and a few olympians in everyday operation.

They`ll need smaller pulse logo`s on the upper deck side windows otherwise passengers will have no view at all from the smaller windows!

I think this livery could be replicated for other express routes such as the X6. It seems they have pale blue grabrails instead of pink.

From what I am led to believe X6/ X84 are scheduled for this livery!

The shade of blue Is Hyperlink Blue for most of the body, matches the streetcars. Very smart.

The X78 livery and interior differs from the standard First express livery seen elsewhere in the country and in the photo of the alleged new X6 bus.
