32684 WX56 HJZ in First Halifax livery in bus station Looks like its swapped over from 30572 which has been doing 576s most of the day if bustimes is anything to go by.

66752 YJ05 KOE First Bradford to First Halifax.
This bus has been here there and everywhere. Used to have Illingworth Red Arrow branding many moons ago.
Seen in Halifax Bus Station on 549 at 1710. Bradford decals still attached

Bradford decals still attached I honestly hate how Halifax is getting tons of hand me downs from Bradford. Gemini 32529 and I rode it on the first day in service, is plain disgusting and seems like it wasn't even cleaned after transfer. All these Bradford buses are vandalised to the bone with mysterious substances all over the windows and smelling like rotten food. I got on 66758 on the 587 bus once, and I entered the bus and it stunk. Non of the regular Halifax ones are this bad.

Are Elland Road P&R buses going through MOT, only I've noticed a larger than normal number of non P&R buses on this service, and I've even been on one of the Middleton blue fronted buses on it which isn't a great ad with it's vandalised seats, ripped out USB ports etc. You'd have thought with a PVR reduction they'd use all the spare P&R buses to cover any sent away, and keep P&R buses for just that rather than have them on normal routes. As a side note, you actually do get a much better class of passenger on the P&R for some reason compared to other routes in the area like the Morley routes or the 1, not sure why some passengers feel the need to trash a bus but they should be permanently banned to make the experience better for all.

I don't think they've gone for MOT, they're just being allocated to other routes. I mean, who cares about allocating buses correctly anyway? Some sort of moron who cares about brand identity and the transport industry as a whole? Pffft. None of those losers in First West Yorkshire's management. In all seriousness though, who actually owns the park and ride buses? WYCA or First? If it is WYCA; then surely they shouldn't be on other routes.

Question:
Hunslet used to have enough B5LH's to cover the 7/7A/7S/X7 and X98 X99 (when the Scott Hall's were at a much better frequency). With the 7 series being reduced in frequency,and Wetherby's being allocated Streetdecks: do a lot of the hybrids now sit on depot all day?
I have seen them appear on Otley Road's, but not exactly loads of them.

Quite a few have been put on Beeston routes over the past few weeks, only in single numbers but still keep seeing them almost daily either on the 1/1B, or the 55 and 75. They're surprisingly a lot better up the hill than I was expecting, I'd go so far as to say they're better than a Streetdeck.

A few Halifax Enviro 400s have been collected by York to assist with the downtime of the Metrodekers this afternoon.

I bet York will be getting back those buses they've put in store at Halifax quickly as I can't see Halifax allowing them to keep the buses they've borrowed if they're short.

The Metrodeckers are off the road for battery checks following the fire at Potters Bar yesterday for checks,I'm guessing with the reduced timetables Halifax had a couple of DDs going spare

Operators always have spare buses on top of what are required, and that is before the fact there is a reduced timetable in operation
