Tempos aren't that bad for me when they are rattling. For me they are actually pretty good on hills especially the one going up to Airedale. Commanders are a lot slower for me IMO. You should go on Arriva E200's mini's you'd love that haha. I'm not sure what Tiger have done to the Tempo's they have, but I'm less than impressed with them, especially 1300. Ironically I've been on Tiger Commanders that have done pretty well on hills, especially when going at a speed before approaching them, they seem to hold power much better than the Tempo's do. I noticed when I go on Tempos, they seem a lot faster than commanders with some of the drivers don't know why I just got that impression. 1311 definitely the weakest tempo out of the ones at Castleford though in my eyes. 1307 and 1308 stand out as the best ones for me.

The streetlite one was a Streetlite Max i believe. When the Cadets were on 175 it was only on the afternoon trip what rubs from Wakefield to Moorbottom Estate via Outwood school. I didn't include 261 & 262 as again its known they can go on any routes that mini e200s do. Again the only other depots with the routes that can benefit from decent midibuses such as Solos or Streetlites are Dewsbury with 128/128a/205/212/212a & 213 (i know most of them deffo would benefit from them) and Heckmondwike for 261 & 271 routes. I am being bias here, but I would probably split the 188 up into 2 sections so the Kirkthorpe side of it gets bigger buses in the day and evening. So Cas to Wakey 188 and Knottingley to Cas 186 or something Keep 3 E200 for the Knottingley bit as it would only need 2 buses, bring back the tempos and split tempos between 187 and 188, that's just me and my bias. Send the rest of the mini's to tiger or something or Wakey. I don't know what you think of that Stephen, me probably being bias, as I know Kirkthorpe is very popular for those who need the bus. There's nothing biased because it would be logical as the 188 at present has a high frequency of late running especially Wakefield side. Again splitting it would mean a better frequency can potentially be established. The 2 routes then could also run via Pinders to service the new relief road and the housing estates on there. Now i agree number the Castleford-Knottingley section as 186. If i was Arriva i'd also renumber the Castleford-Wakefield section of the 189 to 185 say and run it seperate to the full trips on 189 (Leeds to Wakefield) and again have the 185 run via Pinderfields and the new relief road.

YT Gemini 835 returned to service on Friday (11/12/2020) and all 3 deckers have been on 231/232/233 whilst it looks like Tempo 1312 is either not in use at Waterloo or has gone back to Castleford or Heckmondwike

If you only had 2bph running Wakefield to Castleford in the half hour it takes then those buses would be packed. Even on a Sunday they are almost full at 2 buses per hour, imagine a weekday. In my opinion any bus that runs the Eastern Relief Rd should be a Wakefield local 10_ service. Perhaps it could be an extension of the 100; or there could be a new bus that runs from Wakefield to Pinderfields, down the new relief road, through Agbrigg and on to Sandal Asda. This was discussed in an Arriva forum a while back, if you want to quote this reply I think you should just make a new thread on the Arriva board as this is for Yorkshire Tiger. I know I could've done the same but just thought the conversation was already at a dead end.

Maybe its time Yorkshire Tiger got moved under Arriva Yorkshire since at times stuff is repeated several tines in both fleet changes threads. We don't have all of Transdev's Yorkshire operations listed individually either as all their stuff is under one section

The fleet changes thread should really be kept for actual fleet changes, and not general ideas, rumours, suggestions, stuff about routes or sightings and chat about buses that haven’t changed their allocation or livery. There should be different threads created for all that on an as and when basis. Then it would be more manageable.

Forgot to mention this, had a trip on 722 the other day and wasn't impressed. I've been on similar Centro's recently that have driven a lot more smoothly than 722 did. I'm not sure if it's the bus, or the driver, but 722 needs sorting if it's the former, and if it's the latter then I think a bit of 'one best way' training is needed lol. Never known a bus so bad with gear changes, I felt sea sick with all the jerking by the time I'd left the bus lol.

793 looks like it has left Yorkshire Tiger fleet via bustimes which means it is heading to repaints for Arriva Yorkshire.

What generates a bus being removed from a fleetlist on bus times?

What generates a bus being removed from a fleetlist on bus times? Someone changing the details to another operator, or marking the ‘Permanently Withdrawn’ box, or a vehicle (or machine) thats not been seen by the site for a period of time (currently anything last seen before 28th September)

Noticed 792 is apparently being tracked on Bustimes for Yorkshire Tiger. Having a look at both fleet list on bustimes (Arriva Yorkshire and Yorkshire Tiger) i do believe that 792 is still at Castleford so it must be that something else is being tracked instead. Does anyone else have any evidence or any reasoning that I could be wrong?

1300 & 1302 have been transferred to Elland depot Oh god, with all those hills I can see passengers being asked to walk lol, last time I was on 1300 it arrived late due to being so slow on hill sections. I did hear that there is something that needs to be done to a Tempo to sort out it's sluggishness, something that needs cleaning I think.
