Bustimes will be HIGHLY UNRELIABLE in the current crisis. Anyone who is using it to track vehicles should do so with a LARGE pinch of salt. As has been said before ETMs will have been taken off vehicles parked up and placed onto other vehicles when a replacement is required. The machines WILL show the vehicle they were last assigned for and may not have been assigned to the vehicle it is currently being used on. Penfold i stopped using it as i thought it very strange for one bus to be on 4 different routes at the same time in complete different areas mainly with Wakey & cas vehicles though In fairness to BusTimes, I think we should point out that it is not their fault. They only display the data that they are given.

Or the other option would be to help with capacity for but i find it strange that its pulsars. On another note has 1106 returned yet. Althought it could have been some of the MPDs or ALX400s that could have been sent but i thought all heckys were convert to Euro6 including 1058 & 1059 when 4162 & 4182 were up from ANW

I wonder what's happened to 1312, hasn't been since March. I thought it might have been put into service along with the other tempos in the recent timetable changes. Hope it hasn't had a crash or anything

Hope it hasn't had a crash or anything if you're going of Bustimes then its 1404 not been in use the longest (end of feb) followed by 1604 & 1803 the week after and then 1004, 1013, 1030, 1031, 1058, 1059 & 1312 all went off around end of March and begining of April wind-down

What's happened to the remaining 110 Streetdecks? Considering the batch were in delivery at the time of Wright's problems I would have thought they were all built and ready to go. The First Leeds buses are arriving at a pace now so why no further Arriva deliveries. Is it that First have done a deal with the new owners and got their buses released where Arriva haven't, or have the remainder been cancelled by Arriva? Do we think it's probably safe to say the missing Streetdecks have been cancelled now. Wrights/Bamford seem to be busy restocking Diamond North West with Streetdecks now so these Arriva buses would seem to have fallen way down the order book if they are going to ever be delivered.

I was thinking the same. Got a few down in my fleetlist that probably never will come. Just means it's likely there'll be misallocations for a long time coming.

I’ve seen the Hybrid Gemini deckers and Pulsar on 110 this week, so I would guess they are still needing the remaining Streetdecks. 1621 also on a 444, which could well have been backfilling for a hybrid being on the 110.

I thought they had enough buses for the 110 with the streetdecks and the remaining 15 plate e400's they have, I thought they wasn't sending any more e400s to Heckmondwike until they got more streetdecks for the 110

Is this a permanent move or not? As there've been reports of tempos going to Selby lately, but then they've gone back to Castleford, but I guess with Castleford doing Selby's fleet maintenance we could see a lot of Cas vehicles at Selby. I saw 1310 yesterday, it was on the 188.

Exactly. I guess it depends if Selby is again a maintenance depot or acting as an outstation of Castleford. If it’s the latter then I would expect a lot of fluidity in the vehicles operating out of Selby, as if a bus currently at Selby goes for maintenance then it would seem plausible that not necessarily the same vehicle would return, just one of the same type. If 1310 was doing 188 yesterday, chances it’s a swap out this morning? Perhaps one of the Commanders.
