Pretty sure I saw a 446 on a Sapphire livery Pulsar across the M62 roughly a half hour ago, may have been the fog but it looked very much like a dark blue front.

After looking on inaccurate bustimes there was an in-service 446 on a Gemini five minutes before, so it may have been an NIS from elsewhere in the country however I just saw it from the side and assumed it was a 446.

Penfold Dart 261 has also been used on same days as 1621. Not seen the Tempos for a little while apart from DTV 775 and YT DTV 771.

What do you think of 1074's version of the "new" Sapphire livery when you look at pics of the ones in other areas?

So using the example of your spot the Destination will have read 189 Leeds Bus Station then underneath Normanton Line and then that wil alternate to Via Castleford.

Yes, seen one again and it does say Normanton Line.

1604 was out on the 110 this afternoon.
I also noticed the X41 was operating again this evening, having being dropped about 3-4 weeks ago.

The 110 has had 723, 1604, 1606, 1608, 1609 & 1896 on it today. 184, 187, 228, X17, X41 & X60 all restarted today as service reverted back to pre-Lockdown 3. The Nightriders N9 & N10 and X32 wont restart until step 4 of the plan.

Spotted AY 1898 in Outwood this morning showing “out of service” and with two upper saloon rear near side broken windows.
Bus Times suggested it had been on the 444 first thing this morning.
Obviously not sure if it was damaged by a passing tree or similar given the windy conditions, or kicked in by vandals.
