Wonder when the 19 plate 35509 will arrive? Been a while since its sisters arrived Unless 35509 is going to arrive with the next proposed batch of Streetdecks Is there any official word of streetdecks arriving because only thing announced Is the electric buses for the 5 obviously it would make sense as more buses are due just not heard /seen anything yet

Travelling on the recent 35 batch the differences keep popping up, from bins and no bins to differing places the bell repeaters are placed in the saloons the most annoying aspect of these later ones is when the bell is rung it then repeats a second or so later. Going along the Headingley Road it’s was like being at bell ring contest each time the headphone wearing brigade ring the bell we got about 10 rings it’s so annoying.
Some of the bell repeaters appear to be in the middle while the earlier batch was at the rear, though saying that I’ve heard several of the later ones at the rear as well.
Still can’t work out what the route branding if you can call thy is meant to signify or achieve as there are loads of blue fronted buses running up and down Headingley Road today and most days to be honest.

I’m sure Leeds would be due a further batch. ( wasn’t the order to get 284 of these streetdecks) @wyguy66 the inconsistency in design of the streetdecks is confusing, the 355xx batch coming with green grab handles and screens, different from the pink 352xx batch. The red and blue top allocation is random, though I saw a late night red top 355xx streetdeck on the 52 at 11pm.

With 4 deckers on loan to Bramley, I think you can let the random allocations off.
I don't think it'll settle completely until the full Leeds fleet is in Leeds city livery.

Have just heard from a reliable source that 10 more Streetdecks are on order for Huddersfield for routes 358, 398 and 399. They will also be given First’s unique “UniBus” branding and are due for delivery next month

The requirement for new vehicles will be based(and costed) on the pvr of the 3 routes plus 2(or possibly 3) spares to cover breakdowns, servicing etc. As 59 vehicles has been ordered it would appear that the pvr is about 57 plus the spares making 59. New vehicles cost money and operators will only order the minimum requirement.

59 Make sense tbh. Had a look at the Fleetlist earlier & latest transfers. These are the figures I came out with: Bramley
7 Solars 26 B7TL 10 B7L 15 B7RLE (Euro 3)
58 TOTAL >

Buses that are Euro 4 and above are to stay.

Yes 59 buses are due at bramley. 2 will be on trial with guided wheels for the 56 as wrightbus haven't designed the kit with guided wheels yet The rest of batch will be for non guided routes.

Will be interesting what colour fronts they get and what services they group together as a ‘corridor’
I’m guessing 4 & 16 will be one colour
49 & 50 will be another colour
19, 40 & 56 could possibly all be the same colour

Oh no, they've been delivered early. Always better to under promise, over deliver and trust me, the delivery dates are usually work of fiction..
