Olympuses if theres no Gemini's spare You are aware that we are now again in Lockdown so 20 seats should be sufficient? Of course we know we are in lockdown, I'm not an idiot. But considering the other allocations are a Geminis on the 415 today it doesn't make sense to have a commander on there. If it's a double decker route, put doubles on. Like the 415, if there wasn't a Gemini available put a Olympus on Selby have those. . Nice on a Sunday to have the extra seats and leg rooms, so people don't wait an hour for the next one if it's full! I think especially on a Sunday having extra capacity on a double is benefical.

Just to quote my own post, the 175 was running duplicates on Weds and Thurs. Weds had a double and 10xx single. Thursday was back to two 10xx’s. Will see what occurs today. Streetdeck on it today Cheers. I kept my eye out on Friday and didn’t see it. Will try and get out with my camera later.

1716 was on the 175 this afternoon (Wakefield to Bottomboat/Moorhouse Estate via Outwood Grange), another unusual double decker working. Operated as a duplicate behind a 10xx on the same service.

Saw a 508 running on Eastgate yesterday and another running up Bishopsgate Street, firstly I thought it was only running to Park Row on a permanent basis rather than the bus station and secondly, it wouldn't have been affected by the Infirmary Street closure so why have Metro advertised it as DIVERTING via Park Row? As for being seen on Bishopsgate Street, can't fathom that one out and it was in service by the way.

Just wondering, that bus surely doesn't go down to the bottom of Bottomboat does it? Wouldn't imagine anything bigger than a little E200 or a Dart fitting down there

Just wondering, that bus surely doesn't go down to the bottom of Bottomboat does it? Wouldn't imagine anything bigger than a little E200 or a Dart fitting down there I’m honestly not sure but the route indicator on 1716 yesterday said Moorhouse Estate via Bottomboat. I’ll have to wait nearby one day and see... Mind you in the 70s and 80s, Bristol VRs and Nationals and the like used to operate on the route to Bottomboat Edit: today’s 175’s were: 1017 YY14 LGF (not unusual), with ex Flying Tiger 1075 YX17 NKD (more unusual) close behind. 1075 is tracking as 1028 on bus times

We always used to take deckers or full sizes buses down there when we used to do (the old) 108/9 to Bottomboat and Moorhouse. Mind parked cars wernt as much as a problem as they are now and neither were the trees so overgrown. Penfold

Park row was closed diversion was headrow, vicarlane, boarlane, bishopsgate street, start from wellington street. Park Row was defo fully open as all the diverted Infirmary Street buses were running down it, also doesn't explain why the 508 was on Eastgate as if heading to the bus station, and don't forget the official diversion for the 508 was via Park Row just to totally confuse the b******s out of the whole farce. Bus I saw on Bishopsgate Street had a passenger on as well. It seems someone at Mero towers hasn't been doing the job right, I'd be more than happy to take the job of the person responsible for publicising diversion information, cutting the wage paid as well if it'd swing it lol.

Maybe the driver just got lost, being a Halifax route it could happen, or maybe there was a short term issue meaning the bus had to go a different way. If you noted the fleet number and what time it was, you could now look on bustimes.org

As a driver of the 508 thats the diversion we got told to follow, maybe the driver missed the turning onto vicar lane from not being familiar with the area. Yes It did look open.

You were told the wrong diversion then lol, that was the diversion from a week or so before when Park Row was shut. I believe there was an overnight junction closure from 8pm or something like that to 5am affecting Park Row sometime over the weekend but that's about it. The updates on the Metro page about Park Row and Infirmary Street have been well messy of late so I'm not surprised wrong information has been communicated, but that's just one of a massive number of crazy errors that have come up during Infirmary Street/Park Row works, including the current plastic tape stopping people boarding and alighting safely. Saw one woman with a pram struggle to get off a bus (it had to squash into a small space, tried to get as near to the path as possible, but didn't get to it) in the middle of Infirmary Street, then struggle under the tape, you just could not make this up.

1472 On The 189 this evening, unusual for singles to be on the evening diagrams on the 189 even if it's in lockdown.

There could be numerous reasons its been put on for example that paricular board may be quieter on an evening compared to the others and don't forget if its on the full route Wakefield-Leeds it will still interwork with 164 so again if that's quiet too then it makes sense to put a single decker on as they have a good number of seats to use as a Pulsar can sit 21 passengers at the minute and Commanders the same then you'd have the tempos next with 20. If on the other hander 1472 is just running on the short workings Wakefield-Castleford still again that makes sense too

If on the other hander 1472 is just running on the short workings Wakefield-Castleford still again that makes sense too Only One 164 service in the evening and that's at 2215pm. It's a single decker working that. The single decker for that comes of the 411 and runs dead to Sherburn from Castleford. 1480 on this service tonight. 189 interworks on its own on an evening, judging by the looks of it, and looking at the board, its on the last full run 189 from Leeds to Wakey and should do the last 189 from Wakey to Castleford too. Looking at this board, 1472 is on it came on the board around 630pm, replacing a E400. Don't the 189 pick up a lot of NHS workers and that though? As last time we was on lockdown the 189 had duplicates in the evening to run with the normal serivce. I think all boards I could be wrong all go to Leeds at some point in the day more boards than others. I've gathered the info from BusTimes Stephen by the way. Been looking at the journeys for the last few weeks,
