A real mixture on the Red/Blue Lines yesterday... Ex-Black Prince Scania East Lancs Flyte on the 13/13A, Dennis Dart Alexander Dash M204 but didn't catch route number, and a Strider on the 12!

All the Red and Blue lines interwork so any vehicle will appear on all 6 services if it is on an all day board

Not really a misallocation, but when I was coming home today along the A650 from Wakefield to Bradford, just before Kirklees, I past a yard with a wrecked First single decker parked in it. It looked like either a Alexander Strider or a SLF Dart. I couldn't tell because I didn't get a good look at it, and the whole front end was smashed. The yard could have been a small scrap yard or haulage yard, as there where trucks parked in there. Does anybody know the identity of this bus?

Volvo B7TL 32542 was on the 503 today. Not a misallocation anymore, as the Green Line branding has been removed.

Today Arriva Yorkshire, a Green Line (126 & 127) was on the 1200 496 to Doncaster also a Blue Line (495 & 496) was on the 425 & 427. An old Plaxton Pointer was on the 485 at 1145 I was amazed when I saw it.

I assume the Green Line=Connecting Dewsbury & Wakefield and the Blue Line as Connecting Hemsworth.

Post by jabbott1987 on Jun 18, 2008 22:17:29 GMT 1
Yes that's correct & the Red Line is Connecting Kirkless, Black Line is Connecting Leeds & Wakefield.

Except that Arriva do not use coloured lines for their services. They are branded as "Connecting...", hence the branding for the same. So let's just call them by their service numbers.

Cos one was written off a while ago in a fatal head on crash near Otley

Cos one was written off a while ago in a fatal head on crash near Otley I saw the bus again, and you're right it is a Dart Dash. I didn't see a fleet number on it though.

I had also seen 8019/31096 H619VNW in town today, can't remember which route though!
8020/31097 is supposed to be a rocket. Cars struggle to keep up with it!

Today I saw Volvo B10B 60797 in Huddersfield, heading up Manchester Road towards Huddersfield bus station. I was behind it, so couldn't tell what service it was on.

Seen this morning where 32471 YJ04FZX Wright Eclipse and 30240 S656NUG Alexander Royale on the 73.
Also, the 670 seems to be getting some newer buses on it recently, today I saw a B7TL Gemini and 30912 X767VUA ALX400 on it. Makes a change from the usual Northern Counties Olympian.

I'm not from West Yorkshire but I believe the following might be incorrect:
H131FLX on 503 (First West Yorkshire), YD02RJJ on 229 (Arriva Serving Yorkshire).
