A Castleford driver told me they were getting more of the E400 MMC for the new 164 so it can inter work with the 189. It could be these if the branding has been taken off That makes more sense than the idea that Versas would be used on the 189. I'm guessing they would need to transfer over to Castleford about 3 Someone said the Versas are being used on the 167/168. I didn't think using singles on the 189 is a good idea.

Ah right that makes sense, what would be going to Heckmondwike then in return? Pulsar's I'm guessing? something tells me the rest of the eclipses (1105-1112) could be going back on 254/255 and they might have something else e.g the commanders or tempos for use on 228, 256, 261 & 271 routes alongside 1058 & 1059 that are usually on these routes Why would you be suddenly single decking the 254/255?

Can confirm 1982 is also unbranded so its 1980-1983 which are to be transferred me thinks, also noticed 1101 has been unbranded of all its heckspress including both the side rear windows and the route branding in the advert frames, not seen 1100 and 1102/03 so not sure about those however it seems there is definitely going to be a lot of buses switching between depots.

I can either guess two things the 189 enviros are going to get new route branding for the 189/164 or the 189 enviros and maybe the ones from Hecky are going to get Sapphire spec. That is my thoughts, but we will have to wait and see.

The Dales & District Solo operating the 903 for Jackson's is MX55BXR. Running with a blank destination display and the destination only on a board in the windscreen.

Arriva North West 1024 was seen this morning near Garforth - presumably route learning for Cas to take over the new 164 service?

Thursday saw a Yorkshire Tiger Optare Versa in Wakefield.
Destination Blind stated "STAFF BUS" - Guessing this is an Arriva Shuttle Bus.
