they should as they did with 1546 when that got refurbished to Sapphire. ....but Arriva never seem to complete a refurb (or 'vehicle repaint/route branding') on the vehicles they set out to do. Penfold 1408 is a big example of that I don't know how they missed that one out when the commanders got painted into Interurban. Don't imagine it will get repainted now considering they are probably leaving the fleet in a few years time,

Penfold that's true as Dewsbury still have Pulsar 1495 and e200s 1061 & 1064 in old livery and 1066 is still in Little Buses Big in Wakefield livery whilst there's still 1408 in original livery.

I believe there is some diversions happening around North Featherstone. 1023 was not in service heading through Ackton. 1809 doing S76 and heading towards Pontefract. And 1404 as the dupe and 1800 as the main service doing the 147 going towards New College. 1404 was in front. Lovely little pair as they are ex frequenta for the 148/149!

Bit of a downgrade from the 58 Plate Enviro 400's Arriva was using on that run isn't it or The Olympuses or whatever they used Heckmondwike don't run WM2 now it Dewsbury depot now. Before Arriva suspended their main school duties it was the 15 reg e400s on it before it dropped onto 202/203. Before the pandemic it was any vehicle. It's an upgrade from the 52 reg Dart though. Incorrect. The WM2 was Operated by Heckmondwike where as the WA2 was Operated by Dewsbury. WM2 being Whitcliffe Mount - Birstall and WA2 Woodkirk Academy - Hick Lane

WM2 being Whitcliffe Mount - Birstall and WA2 Woodkirk Academy - Hick Lane I realise that but its because each time i saw the Squarepeg vehicle on WA2 at bottom of Hick Lane it had WM2 on the blind instead.

According to bustimes 1430 on the 197 today. Here's something I've always wanted to ask? Are doubles banned from this route? I've never seen a double on this route at all, just singles like the commanders and Pulsars? Is there a low bridge or something on this route that prohibits doubles? Just want to know why you hardly or ever see doubles on this route

If bustimes is correct, it looks like 794 for Arriva broke down in Leeds or something and 1412 covered rest of the 167 journeys. Very interesting I must admit. I would expect 795 to do the rest but that hasn't been in service for a couple of days

Always wondered whether the driver can choose what bus he or she wants to drive on the 168 on a Sunday as 1413 is on it with 791, today what a interesting combination.
2 Doubles on the 177/156. Double on 159 and 184s. No Pulsars out at all today in Cas which is the first time in a very long time,

Saw both of them. Was very strange as they are usually E200s, commanders or pulsars. Noticed a few E400 MMCs on the 177 a lot more recently

I notice whoever updates the livery and depot parts of the Arriva Yorkshire fleet on there jumps the gun regularly
The majority of the 1508+ gemini are clearly still at Dewsbury as most are still on the 126/127, yet someone has changed them all to say Heckmondwike

I've only changed 1516, 1906, 1907 and 1549 as they was all confirmed to be moving

It's a pity Dewsbury are losing the only 4 deckers that still offer all MAX features (1549-1552) as 1508-1518 and 1914/1919-1930 haven't done for a while since all the plugs stopped working 2 or 3 years ago.
