I know they lost 32520-24 when part of it went over part Huddersfield operation. I don't think so, it's school holidays so there will be spare buses. |

406 was on the 148 heading towards Knottingley and a E400MMC around Featherstone. It is a bit unusual to see a E400MMC around Featherstone at this time as the 177 doesn't start at this time. Possible route learning.

Currently using the Spare Ticket machine it looks like too. Makes me wonder if the other Solo Srs are at Wakefield that haven't entered service yet? |

Hecky already have 407, 409 & 410 although they do breakdown more than be on road. |

1956 was the e400mmc at Wakefield yesterday seen it on 149 yesterday evening. The MMCs is using paper displays. 1953 was the e400mmc being used today at Wakey I also saw 406 earlier today. 1012 was on the 110, 1613 broke down this morning. 1484 was also leaving the mid numbered Wakefield stands this evening it wasn't a 126 and certainly not a 212/212a Could sworn I saw 1943 fresh out of the paintshop in Wakefield bus station, had the reg LPA. I prefer the new sapphire livery to the old one, looks good. 1484 will have been on 126/127 which uses stand 10 in Wakefield. Drivers will use the slightly higher stands when needing to go on to the layover area if it's more than 10mins before departure. |

Question, on the old Arriva 128? Was it rare for geminis to appear on it? As twice this month before the 25th, I got the 128 twice and there was both geminis. Extremely rare deckers were used due a low bridge on the route near Ouzlewell in Dewsbury. Only time deckers were used were when the bus on on diversion to Ouzlewell. |

An interesting spot via Flickr is Solo SR 406 had been on 102 this week. Thought they'd been banned from that route alongside the e200MMCs

The only solos that have been allocated to Wakefield was those 3020 and 3021 that went from Selby to Wakefield for a short time before going Tiger. Think this was 2019. Wonder if those went on the 100 circuit routes. Also the free city bus solos, they had when had it. I can't recall Selby's Solo SR's being at Wakefield either, I could be wrong on that At least one,I think 3052 has worked out of Wakefield in the past, I think it was during the time when they were moved from Selby to Yorkshire Tiger at Elland before returning to Selby later. |

Bear in mind that many years ago we operated Optare Metroriders and we had no problem operating them on any of the minibus network and never had a problem in WBS. The only problem these days is wheelchair access which requires a wider door on the vehicle. AFAIK they are NOT banned from WBS but wheelchair access can be a problem if the vehicle is not positioned correctly. E200MMCs cannot go on 102/5 due the length and poor steering lock. Penfold |

Penfold Didn't you use the Beavers on the minibus wakefield network as well? In the mid-late 90s just before Arriva took over. Oh yeah forgot about those (be having nightmares now !) but I dont think they operated in Wakefields New Bus station (open to correction). We had the Darts by then and the Beavers had moved on Im sure. Penfold |

Penfold The beavers were used on the Castleford/old South Yorkshire routes as well as one or two got kept for use on 995 Sainsburys shopper with Dewsbury depot as they and the Metroriders were regulars on 207/208 Dewsbury-Grangemoor circulars as well as 213 & 215 Ouzlewell Estate-Cleckheaton/Fieldhead. |
