Think Keighley had a few 'Jets' grounded today. B7TL/Plaxton's 2701 and 2714 both on the K7, UID B7RLE on the K3 and K5 (may have been the same bus on both routes).

Nice lovely fine when that gets to bus station it wont be as A) Leefs Clean air zone hasn't started and B) there's one duty that comes off the 781. Yes it will because solos are not allowed into leeds bus station It gets £150 fine off metro every time it happened The buses allocated to the 781 and 757 duty should be 621 but due to an engineering fault that couldn't be done so the only option was to put a solo on it even though it would face the consequences

Not exactly a sighting but who operates the red ex London double deckers in Leeds they say something like Clean emissions on the side?

Appears to be a severe 'small' bus shortage at the moment. By my calculations they are: 1 dart down, 2 mercedes down and 4 solos down. 1843 on K3/K5 circuit. As you said two presidents on K7 as well as one also on K9

For some very bizarre reason 32469 has just ended up on the 16:28 184 from Manchester to Huddersfield! Now could someone tell me the setup of this? Is it a loan to the depot or trial of a new potential duty maybe?
Also 69306 was on the 571/560 yesterday

Oldham Enviro 400 door interlock stuck on, 32469 was spare bus in bus station so was put on the 184 as it was priority. Good bus 32469, one of my favourite buses at Bramley when it was there.

And from what I hear, Avon didn't look after them! I'm not mad keen on the MCVs myself anyway, hopefully at least one of the ex Scarborough darts will stay

If its going on their track records the ex-Avon darts will takes months to enter traffic as they just arrived this morning. Assumed to wipe out the ex-EYMS darts with W477 UAG having vanished recently and the 03 reg Caetano also gone off this morning
