Anyone know if Tiger have borrowed a Gemini double decker, I was on the euroway earlier and there was an Arriva double decker at the bus stop ( wondered if it was a hecky one ), presume it was on Tiger’s 606 service . It pulled off before I could get close to see what it was.

Does anyone know what will happen to the commander and cadet that Idle depot have at the end of the month? Maybe they could go to Waterloo or Elland?

617 going for Scrap apparently, just watched a The Flat Cap's Bus Driver youtube video. Considering it's an 06 plate surely they should try and sell it on? Bit of a waste to scrap it unless there was something wrong mechanically. I'm sure when the 06 plates commanders from Arriva go, Arriva will try and sell them so they can go somewhere else?

I Think I heard somewhere that all the cadets & commanders from tiger are being scrapped, although how much truth there is in that I don't know; it'll be a shame if they are coz they're some of the best buses in Hudds and almost the last of K-line's legacy..I really do hope that some of them get preserved!

Surely somewhere else would love these buses as these are some of my favourite buses in Yorkshire the ones Arriva have anyway. I would love to see some preserved. Love the commanders and the cadets. It'd be horrible to scrap them.

How about we give them the rest of the tempos in exchange for the enviro 200s? Sounds a bit stupid I know

Sounds a bit stupid I know something tells me that 1400-1405 (which are actually 56 reg) could follow suit of 1406 & 1407 and join the DTV ranks as 1409-1415 (57 reg) could be in use elsewhere e.g Hecky for 228/256/261/271 or go back to Dewsbury again as they'd have a wide use for them on routes as they wont be on 202/203 when the Leeds CAZ scheme restarts

I'd have thought they'd have transferred tempos 773 & 776 to Elland for use on 502 if a standard decker was needed on it. Can see them also possibly putting 831 or 833 on there too

I think most people now get their bus news via Facebook and other online sources these days, it's a shame because this forum used to be the first to report this news. I think people are scared to post movements and the like for fear of being called out with a sarcastic reply. I for one would personally like to see the same information posted two or three times rather than not at all. The appropriate reply to your post would probably have been a friendly, sorry these two have been withdrawn, maybe scrapped as they no longer even appear on the SOES fleet list.

This forum is the first place that I know anything about fleet movements. I tend to agree people are scared to post movements and that on the forum. That reply has made me a bit nervous about asking a question about something I saw on bus times because I'm afraid of getting a sarky response. Anyway back on topic are 831/833 the 52 plate Gemini's or am I getting confused
