Anyways, moving on. The lowlanders have arrived at Castleford (yesterday I'm guessing). Which is 1603, 1608, 1609 and (1611 not entered service unless tracking as the spare machine.) Checked via bustimes.

Photo posted yesterday from inside an Arriva North West depot on an Arriva North West & Wales Facebook group. I assume therefore it was taken and posted by a staff member.
It shows their ALX400 4123 having 'had a tidy up prior transfer to Yorkshire'. 4119 is mentioned as the second bus transferring.

Has anyone seen 1900 (YJ58 FHA)or know any information regarding this? As it hasn't seen serivce since the 20th Jan (on bustimes). My assumtion is that its off the road as I know that 1898 is using a front of one of the 1900s batch.

Sorry to ask, but I'm curious. Has anyone seen or got any information about Castleford Pulsar 1478 (YJ62 JSY)? I usually see all of Castleford's fleet about once a week, but I haven't seen this bus since November at all. I haven't seen it around Cas, Ponte or Wakefield since November. Any information on this bus would be grateful. Thank you Last time out was 22nd Jan then was VOR

I eventually found these on Bus Times - 4123 appears been off the road since November last year!

Unless I’m way out of touch, 1001 and 1002 seem to have recently been transferred to Belle Isle?
On a similar note, the X80 (formerly X41) now seems to be exclusively operated by mini E200s. What a come down for that route!

What a come down for that route! Not out of touch; 1001-1003 have indeed transferred over to BI. 1004 & 1005 are staying put at the min. 1006-1008 may be coming back to West Yorkshire given that the Selby's 42 (which they got transferred for) is down to be cancelled as of the April Service Changes.

From what I’ve heard Wakefield are due to get between 2-4 double deckers from Arriva Merseyside as replacements for the Lowlanders not sure how correct this is?

Tempo 1309 and e200mini 1003 on loan from BI to Selby at the moment I'm sure I heard that the tempos are no good for Selby? Like if I remember correctly they was supposed to be at Selby but never happened due to Selby bus station? Which was why they got Evolutions so that's interesting

Tempo 1309 and e200mini 1003 on loan from BI to Selby at the moment Tempos can't be used at Selby due to the turnings from the Bus Station. The only route it could do is 197 Race Course but that's another month off starting.

It's been on the 409, I've seen a picture of it on the facebook Arriva Yorkshire and North East Enthusiasts group It's the very sharp turn out of Selby bus station onto Bawtry Road (towards Goole and more importantly towards the depot) that causes problems for Tempos ... the 409 doesn't serve Selby bus station and so isn't affected by the problem.

It was used as a last resort as Selby was so short of buses due to breakdowns, a bus is better than no bus.
